I would think you would see a nice power gain with any of them. Do you think the extra $130+ isgoing to give you much over one of the other pipes, probably not worth the extra money unless you have it. Most of them probably give between 2-3hp from the looks of it. Say one pipe gives you 2.5hp, but the one that costs $130 more will give you 3. Would it be worth the extra money for .5hp, not to me. I'm sure I could find another hp with that $130 (a bit more probably) that would free up more hp from the parts that are all ready on it. A pipe might give you 2-3hp on a stock engine but could produce 5hp from a modded engine. Just something to consider.

You need a pipe that gives you power over a wide range. Say the white bros. only gives you a 2.5 hp gain peak, but at 3500 rpm, it is making 5 more than stock. Go to www.gthunder.com and check out the dyno charts.

Dude your missing the point. Go ahead and spend the extra 50 bucks and get the WHITE BROS E SERIES PRO MEG. It adds 4-7 more horses. If your going to spend 300 bucks for 3 ponies why not spend 50 more for 4-7 ?

How does a pipe give you a peak gain of 2.5hp and then make 5hp more at another point. Peak hp is just that, peak. This would be the highest gain you would see (probably not see is more accurate).

From the pipes and prices that were listed the cheaper WB pipe may yeild more "bang for the buck" than the more expensive pipe. With the money left over ($125 not $50) you could probably pick up another mod that together would yeild more hp than the pipe alone (surely for slightly more $ you could).

I live on a budget and because of these I need to plan out every mod very carefully so I can maximize my dollar. Maybe this isnt the case for you guys/gals. This is simply my opinion.

It looks like a WB header pipe runs about $120-130 and the two peices together probably will net more hp than the more expensive pipe alone. If you did some intake mods than the header/pipe combo would definately give you more hp in the long run.
