The Y pipe and downtube? I already have an SLP "SS" muffler off a friends 02 35th SS. How much HP would I gain from headers and and a new exhuast system?

Like said the stock manifolds and y-pipe are really restrictive. And should be among the first mods done, to allow any other mod to meet its potential. I would say headers with a y-pipe are good for 15-20hp and with a cat-back, perhaps another 10hp.
