with headers,intake, iridium plugs, and thermobloc, how much additional HP will a b-pipe upgrade give me, p.s would the comptech down pipe be a good addition as wekk?

Downpipe? If you have headers you already have the "downpipe"

You'll see 5whp max. An increase of <10whp can't even be backed-up on a dyno because of all the variables involved (weather, dyno calibration, etc).

The b-pipe isn't worth the cash unless you want the sound or you are boosted.

I initially was running with the CT i/h/e. After having the CT b-pipe installed I noticed that the car rev'd smoother thoughout the RPM range and felt slightly quicker. I also increased gas mileage a couple of miles/gal. You will get about a 3-4 WHP increase, N/A. With a CTSC, about 5-8 WHP.

My car with the CT i/sc/h/full-catback makes 305 WHP/262 TQ as dyno'd at CT.

I'd definitely buy the UR pulleys before the B-Pipe
