You have $470 or 470HP? List the mods you already have and that will help decide where you need to go next.

I've read good things about the motordyne plenum spacer. They claim that if you go with the 5/16" Iso Thermal plenum spacer you'll get the same claimed HP gain as the 1/2" spacer and you can still use your strut bar. And it's street legal.

Most test pipe HP gain claims are less than the plenum spacer and they're not street legal. Second, I would want the best HP gain I could buy so I would want ones that are unresonated. The trade off is some people say they add a "raspy" sound to your exhaust. Also, because the unresonated ones have no baffles in them they also make your exhaust louder no matter which one you're using.

Uh, with an aftermarket exaust *and* test pipes, IMHO, it will sound like a Kazoo.

If you do have them done do yourself a favor and don't bastardize your stock pipes (cut the flanges off or gut them) so you can reinstall them if you don't like it.
