    Do you have a gt or gtp? 3" is going to be your better choice regardless.

    x2 for a little bit more get the speed daddy headers and have much better flow. You want to get every degree of heat out of these motors that you can.

    Speed daddy headers, and if it was me i'd go with an intense or overkilll pcm or a custom tune if you can find someone to do it for you. Don't go zzp.

    DHP is the best mail order tune but nothing beats a credible street tune
