Pretty much sums up how i feel After intake, pulley, midpipe, muffler, and tune, i've probably spent about $5-6K and probably netted 30-40whp ......for $10k you could possibly net 150whp..........wish i knew that 2 yrs ago

Hell, half the people on this site could have supercharged their cars for the price they spent on wheels and tires alone.

I know an ESS kit may seem expensive but, their base kit will run you around $10K after install. My Akra exhaust was about $5K (including Delete-R). I may have picked up 12-15 HP with the Akra.

IMO, if horsepower is what you are after, I would save up for a blower instead of nickel and dimeing your way to nearly the same cost with bolt on mods.
