    Cool

    I want those headers...with the pipes sticking out the side of my front fenders...



    Also, my guess would be that most of the extra HP is found in remapping the ECU, also, no cats/restrictive exhaust.

    Cant believe you guys didnt know about this. From what I recall, this was the reason for the Alpine supercharger kit to begin with.
