Default Most gains on automatic

So I recently purchased an auto HR and am looking forward to doing my first mods. I was planning on doing an exhaust, test pipes, and maybe intake. Which of each will give me the most gains in whp? If you guys have some dyno results that'd be great!

My current ideas for my set up so far:

Exhaust:
Bassani

Test pipes:
? not sure yet

Intake:
JWT pop chargers or the injen

i have done alot of research on this matter and according to my research if you want a great sound and powerful car i would go with

hks exhaust or ebay clone

berks test pipes

injen cai

the gains should be up around 315-320hp with a reflash or tune for your mods

The HKS is a true dual exhaust. It's pretty much all relative as far as power since it's all gonna be within a couple hp/trq. It's all in the butt dyno and the diff will be too subtle to tell when comparing tit/tat

Exhaust- Bassani
Test Pipes- Berk or FI (or Berk/StillenHFCs if you want)
Intakes- Injen


You will get most gains from exhaust+TPs...The intakes don't add as much power, around 10 hp top end I think.

thank you for all the feedback so far. does anybody recommend an order in which i should buy the parts and put them in? cause i dont have all the cash ready on hand. also i've heard that since i have an automatic i need a tune after each mod. is this true?

Exhausts.... If you want one that gives you the most power, look at Motordynes. And after mods it's best to get a tune so your car gets the most potential out of them.

been doin alot of readin on this for a while now to before i make my decisions but this is what ive come up with so far..
exhaust- fast intentions or motordyne
test pipes- berk metallic or high flow cats
intake- injen dual intake
tune- uprev

A.H's car makes seriouss power 318 whp on a reflash from technosquare, i would bet his car would make alot more power with a custom tune from uprev

Jim, I am actually going the same route as A.H, but doing UPREV and MOTORDYNE TDX Exhaust once he releases it. I will also be purchasing the Injens too.
