Having it tuned is the most important part, and it will be tuned to your existing modifications. Getting a chip first, then intake, exhaust, headers, etc. means you will have to get your chip reprogrammed. Most recommended/used: Arizona Dyno Chip =Coatings= Coatings for your headers, exhaust, UIM, etc. will reduce the temperatures and add durability to the parts. High Performance Coatings Jet-Hot Coatings Swain Tech =Exhaust= A bolt-on cat-back exhaust will result in 4-8hp depending on brand and modifications to your vehicle.
