Alright I'm looking to buy some more mods. I'm leaning toward buying 3" long tube headers and and an X pipe which would be about 900 installed. My other options are stage 1 cams which would be around 1300, stage 2's which would be 2300, a P51 intake mainfold and BBK TB for about 1450, or the HPS manifold and plenum which would be about 1100. I'll probably get a ZEX or Dynotune nitrous kit if I go with one of the less expensive mods above. Would the long tube headers and x pipe be louder and sound better than my current exhaust?

cool i was just down in va beach last weekend i live up north in quantico though as i said LT's are ultra loud you won't get as much gains out of them as you would with the other mods but you will get more out of all the other mods by having them in there.

I always get my parts installed at MAS Racing on Haygood Rd. They quoted me 490 for the install and if I get the cheaper headers and x pipe on Summit Racing, it'd be less than 900, but it'll probably be shy of 1000 for the ceramic coated ones.

Would the X pipe and flowmasters sound bad?
