Ported Exhaust Manifold Gains
How much of a power gain would I get from PEM'*? I am mainly buying them to combat KR, but I know I'll get some power from them.
What am I looking at ... 10 BHP? 10 ft-lbs?

There are big pieces to removed, but i think saving some money for something like *&* headers would be much more beneficial. Especially down the line. I'm not one for constantly swapping out the same part personally. I like to do it the right way the first time.

It'* a great deal. I don't plan on going lower than 13.0 (for now), so I'll be fine where I'm at. For 100 bucks, it'* a steal. I also spent a 100 bucks on the PCM, so 200 bucks to get me solid high 13 second runs is worth it.

There are a quite a few people with GTP'* in the mid to low 12'* with PEM'*. If you think that your are going to upgrade to headers down the line to get that extra edge, i'd say not to fuss with installing PEM'*. For a $100 you can't go wrong with PEM'*.
