Best "bang" for the buck.

I'm comming into a little money(finally sold my bass guitar) and wonder if I'd get more "bang for my buck" getting an MPx UDP or a header with a cat delete al la the Perrin O2 simulator? I know the header and O2 sim will run around $275 or there abouts(I like the OBX stainless with the new down tube) and the UDP will run around $110 so how many HP can I expect from each and which would be the better mod to do right now. I'm sure I'll end up with both eventually but I'm kind of thinking the UDP would be a bit easier and should free up around 5 HP, not sure what the header would do.

Is the car otherwise stock? If so you are arent even close to needing a header yet.
CAI
being that its an SXT some sort of muffler
TB and hard bellows tube
UDP
Header

Check out my "garage" area for mods I've already done.
I've got the intake side pretty much where I want it for now, still need a better intake to TB tube though. I've got a 50 Delta with a nice exhaust tip on it so it sounds pretty good. I'm really thinking UDP unless someone can come up with something that'll give me an even better HP increase for the $250 or so that I'll have to spend.

Used N2O kit

Get the UDP then next time you can afford it go for the header I would get the TTi over anything except a FastFabs or BlackDog

You know, I've NEVER bought anything from e-bay. Not sure why, just never have. Are they that much cheaper on e-bay? I know if I get a MP UDP I'll need different belts because the ones that come with the pulley are suppose to not be all that good and if I'm going to do it I want to do it right. Also, I've been talking with a guy about swapping my SXT wing for his SRT wing so I'll need a few bucks for shipping so I think the UDP will be the way I'll go.

The UDP and/or the header will NET you the same power gains...2-4hp and that's it....
N/A its hard to get power increases without major $.....
I personally would say get the UDP since its cheaper,easier to install and releases the HP more than the header creates.
