Custom Tuner - $400 (assuming you meant a dyno tune here)
3″Cat Back Magnaflow Exhaust - $1,300
American Racing Headers - $1,325 with Cats (ARH Short System)
High flow cats - $0 (above)
Cold Air Intake - $390

This gets the SS close to 500 HP. My dilemma is that i was quoted between $5000-$5500. This isn't necessarily out of budget, but i wanted some opinions on the pricing for what I'm getting before I do it.
Thanks


You running an Auto or a Manual? Meaning L99 or LS3 engine. LS3 would get about 500 crank HP, or 425 wheel HP.

Rough numbers inline above for ball parking only. You can beat these rough prices by shopping around.


About $3,400 for a rough estimate on the parts and tune, and not accounting for the fact that you should be offered "package" pricing buying all that. Install labor should be cheap since they are cleaning you out the margin on the parts. Sales tax ($280) and shop supplies ($45) extra. You should be looking for an air scoop and washer bottle relo kit too.
