part questions?

[brightwhite98GT]

Alright, I plan on gettin the PI intake, those little plates that make the intake fit the heads, cams, some FRPP long tube headers, with either X pipe or H pipe and I dont even know what type of mufflers yet. After I get all that stuff, I plan to take it to fastlane to dyno tune my car.

Question 1) Whats the diference between X pipe and H pipe. Im sure all they do is change where the power is at in the RPMS. I want more pull on top. Which would be best?

Question 2) What are some good cams that I would get the most out of everything I will be running (CAI, PI intake manifold, long tube headers, free flowing mufflers, either the X or H, and probaly the 3.90 or 3.73 gears)

Question 3) I want an exhaust that flows good, but sounds good as well. I like more of a mean, throatier tone. I dont want my car just to be as loud as it can, otherwise I wouldnt run mufflers at all.

Question 4) Do I need an aftermarket tuner to have it dyno tuned or can they just reflash the factory computer?

Question 5) Anyone have any estimates how much I'll be puttin to the ground after this?

Sorry for all the questions lol

frpp doesn't make long tubes for the gt ... unless they just started. You will probably have to have a tuner for them to do it... thats what i've been told.

I'm not aware of anything/anyone being able to reflash the stock computer without buying any software, you're going to need to purchase some kind of equipment, whether it be an Xcal or a Predator.

X-pipe vs. h-pipe is a common question... x pipes are generally good for power on the higher end, where as h-pipes make benefit the lower RPM ranges; I personally believe you should buy whatever it is that you think sounds the best.
