For $3500 you can gain an additional 40-60 hp from headers and exhaust.

I think you're right though, anything else is pretty much pointless and you might as well save up for a supercharger or look at reducing weight if you want to track it.

Maybe I shouldn't say pointless, but the gains vs cost is not going to be pretty.

true, headers are a great way to free up some power as long as you don't mind making your Mercedes Benz sound like a Camaro.

IMO, Mercs should be silent but deadly.
