Your car would still be loud, and would make within 5 HP of what it does now. Sure the parts would not be as nice..but the end result is the same. You can spend your money anyway you want, but I see this with a lot of customers. You have a ton of cheap options for catbacks, and intakes, yet people buy what won this dyno test, or who made the fanciest youtube video. Then when it comes time to buy headers, it turns into let's go to Walmart and buy the cheapest option possible? Not really trying to flame you...just honestly trying to understand the logic.
Actually a Macbook Pro is basically the same inside as a Dell, just put in a shiny aluminum case and marked up 300% with some nice marketing. They are even in many cases made by the same Chinese contract manufactuer. For the average user a Mac and Dell are about the same..but the Apple in nicer quality if you know what you are looking at. 300% nice quality is debatle..but with the way Mac's sell..some people agree. Not faulting him though..I have all Mac's my self and like buying nice, high quality things.

My list of mods so far.
1. K&N intake $250. (from you)
2. Muffler delete and magnaflow x-pipe/muffler combo $350
3. Used diablosport predator $150
4. OBX headers $680
Total $1430
Thats $80 more than your sale price on one set of Kooks with catted connection pipes or the cost of one MacBook Pro. Are you really saying that about $100 worth of raw material bent and welded together hold the same value of my Mac? Please don't say it took as much engineering to build headers as it did to build a computer, software and all.
