Red face Need help the right way, the 1st time enhancing performance

I know i should search.. i did.. but i want fresh information not information from 1,2 years ago. I'm about to whip out 2-3grand worth of credit card purchases on modifications to further enhance the performance of my paddle shifted ua7. I heard about adding a larger diameter jpipe will make up for many extra horsepower but there are three leading competitors that provide this. RV6, ATLP and XLR8. Who knows what is the best one? The UA7 already have a high flow exhaust system so i plan on keeping that but with cast iron cat deletes from RV6 and a jpipe with a direct bolt on magna flow cat. my air induction is a basic kn drop in filter that honestly i can say did nada
I know for sure if i had a base UA6 it would of been supercharged. Any Power adders for the UA7? help me spend my money the right way...

When you say credit card purchases, I hope you mean you're going to put it on a credit card and pay it off at the end of the month.

^jellyfishes...rofl

Trust me, get a J pipe (either xlr8 v2 or rv6 v3 [theyre the same thing]). I have a UA6, and the power increase was noticable. I would assume the power jump from the stock J pipe on your UA7 to an aftermarket one would be even greater. (dont quote me on that..)

Here's the combo and Brand I went with. You could do this with PCD's and save $200 but I didn't want rasp or smell. I added a Tsudo Catback $375 and couldn't be more happy with the sound and power gains for a total of around $1300 all said and done.
RV6 V3 Jpipe & HFPC Combo

$975.00
