JBA short headers or Injen CAI?
Well basically I am going to be ordering one of thoose today. So what do you guys think, I am already waiting for my MRT ver 2.0 to get here. I am leaning far towards headers.

I would recommend you ask scrming though I have a feeling that it is more of a personal choice. BTW the MRT v2 exhaust is AWESOME!!! I heard if you cut the resonators off that it sounds even better!

Combine the shorties and the exhaust first. They are proven as a combo already. We have no idea what that intake is going to do yet. I would wait for scrming, mmray or a couple other guys who install the injen first.

I would love to hear it with the resonators cut off.
I would like to know if I should or not, before I get the installation. |

I may be behind on my thread reading, but can we say that the shorties are "proven". I thought that the shorties don't result in gains even with a tune. Shorties would be just for sound, right?

Yep sound. I don't think of performance when it comes to those. Scrming has been rocking them for a while. He will have better info on them. All I know is that they sound mean.

mrray13 seen like 5 RWHP / 8 RWTQ IIRC... so he did see some gains... while I didn't see anything really noticeable on the dyno, i did see slight improvment in my 0-time... But... for me it was more about the sound... LOL

Well after a talk with a salesman at chevy dealership,(who owns an SS with a bunch of mods and has dyno'd at almost 500hp,and his actually on Camaro5 himself), he showed me a package that chevy has just released, states a 327hp v6 all that is added is a SLP exhaust,headers, and a Blackwing CAI, tuned, so I mean if the false advertising rule is held up here, that is pretty impressive to me, BUT it didn't say anything about RWHP. But hopefully once I have everything installed any dyno'd, I will be able to sum up all these questions. But what I would really like to know is WHAT DOES IS SOUND LIKE WHEN THE RESONATORS ARE CUT OFF? and is it worth it.

Looking at the package, I don't see anything about headers. Based on what we have seen so far, I seriously doubt a high-flow filter/intake tube, an axle back, and a tune are going to get you 23 HP over stock. Even if it were true, $6K for maybe 15-20 rwhp is crazy! Looks like you would be mostly paying for stickers and floor mats. Doesn't look like they are selling the tune separate yet, so I am betting it is not available yet.
