You will gain at least 30 HP. Your gain should actually be significantly more if you re tune it for the headers and get a pulley to bring boost back to where it was pre headers. I would honestly expect 50+ on your set up from a swap like that. How much boost do you currently run?

The gain will come from the headers your stock vmax muff flows excellently but the 3.5 won't hurt since you are FI.

What size throttle body do you have? Call me crazy but I dont see a point on going bigger exhaust when the TB is still the stock size and first has to pull air through it.

Iirc they're at least 87mm but I thought I seen somewhere say they were 90 on the vmax. Correct me if I'm wrong. Ik my 07 max has a pretty big tb.

No...the TB is almost never a restriction, especially in a FI application.

Supersub would disagree and I think he has some pretty good testing to back him up at least on FI that sucks.

I got some pretty good gains going to a larger throttle body as well.

But if the setup was a blow-thru, I would agree with Atomic.
