Expected Gains for these mods?

What would you expect the gains to be for a z tube, pop-charger, and 1/2'' isothermal plenum spacer? What other low budget mods would you recommend, without losing the exotic exhaust sound?

Calm down little man. If you go back and re-read the original threads "in context", it was plain to me the OP was in fact talking about crank hp.

One might question if the OP knows what the difference between rwhp and crank is, however...

On your car the 5/16 or 1/2 spacer should give you a solid 10 HP plus. Z-tube is worth maybe 1 - 3 HP then maybe a set of high flow cat's 2 - 5 HP gain. A good y-pipe setup should get you right there at 300 @ crankshaft.
Happy modding

Yeah, but I don't want to change the sound of the exhaust. I love the stock sound! Is there anything in those last two posts that doesn't change the sound of the exhuast.

Also, are headers really hard to install?

Finally, Which intake has the most gain? Pop Charger, Certain CAI??

Thanks everyone, please help me out!

The hi-flow cats and y-pipe will not change the sound much. If anything you will be way more happy with the sound. Headers? Not hard to install at all, Just takes time.

Ztube, Popcharger and the spacer will probably only give you about 10-12 HP at the crank.
