I have a comptech SC w/AC and wondering if I'll see a significant difference if I add a comptech exhaust with ricks header. I've searched but nothing couldn't find anything concret about this combo. Any help would be appreciated.

 

eh...a smaller pulley would yield you way more power and would be cheaper. Get a 7# pulley if you're running stock boost and turn the FPR up. Just make sure AFR's are good. You might see 5 - 10whp adding the exhaust/header together if you're running stock or near stock boost levels.

I will eventually go with a smaller pulley once I've save enough money for the ems. If I add the exhast and header would it cause the car to be lean?

 

yes it will cause it to be leaner

 

I have the CT SC w/ AC w/ 7 lb. pulley, Rick's header, Invidia TP, and CT exhaust. I put down 300.5 WHP at 2600 feet elevation. You can compare that with what you are putting down now. AF hasn't been checked yet so I can't help there. That is one of the winter projects.

 

I'm probably just going to get the exhaust, 7lb pulley and the APEXi Neo. Would this be a better yield then ricks header and comptech?

 

Why dont you wait a month or so and get the AEM piggy back when it comes out. Makes a lot of sense to me, you could get injectors and 3.5" pulley, tune it and see #'s in the low 300's.

 

I'm running the CTSC with AC, stock pulley and AEM EMS. My car is putting down 320 Rwhp and 220 Lbs of Tq. Tuner at JE import Performances did an excellent job.
