I’ve seen some local Vortech guys dyno 415whp to 430whp 12-14psi on a dynojet with a stock exhaust system with a test pipe.

RainH8R went from 364 to 379 just changing from the OEM header to my old J's a few years ago...so they aren't worth a lot.

thats why i was looking on js racing headers and 63 mm test pipe , i still dont know wich exhaust put on , maybe the magnaflow with 2.5 inch piping they are prety cheap here in montreal , or maybe juste keep the oem headers and put test pipe berk 63mm and exhaust i should it the 420 whp easy with the KW kit

OP, did you read this? Before you waste the money read this, his thread and ask him questions because it seems to me the stock exhaust fits your power goals...

yes i think i just gonna changer the test pipe for a berk 63 mm and keep oem exhaust and just changer the muffler for a magnaflow or apexi or tenabe , i just realise that you dont need to speed 2000$ on headers and exhaust to have gain with supercharger

Current Setup:

J's Headers (Wrapped)
J's Test Pipe
Tanabe Touring Medallion Exhaust

I am going to switch the exhaust from Tanabe to Comptech to see how it sounds and looks waiting to get a retune on the car in Jan i'll get that done previous exhaust was Challenge Exhaust so going from a single to dual which should increase the power from what I have read on the forum.
