my guess is somewhere between 8-16. Not too much, but it will free up a nice amount.

You might have maybe 6-8whp total. MAYBE. Virtually nothing from the exhaust though. Maybe 1whp. But doubtful.

I don't know what the Megan headers actually dyno for... but I'd guess no more than 10 to the wheels from that combo.

I'm just guesstimating on that though, so I could be off.

You're not going to get that much gain with any bolt ons like that. Maybe with the proper intake, header, full exhaust combo, you could maybe get to 20 whp.

Injen's "catback" exhaust is actually an axleback. (A "catback" exhaust would include a replacement for the midpipe as well.) An axleback replaces the chambered/baffled (i.e. restrictive) stock muffler with a straight-through muffler. It will give you more than 1whp, any axleback will give 5-6whp on an otherwise stock car.

Your Injen intake gave +8whp when setup with the Alphawerks header.

A header will give ~7-8whp when setup with an axleback.

However you will need to buy a new resonator (which is actually another straight-through muffler) to combat the raspy noise which results from adding a header to this car.

An s-pipe will give almost no gain on an N/A tC, and is not worth the $150-200 price.

I have specified the above hp gains with their setups because mods are not additive and every intake/header/exhaust component is designed as a single bolt-on. Since no one makes a tuned I/H/E system everyone will get different results from mixing & matching bolt-ons from different companies.

If your mileage doesn't change much and you don't get a CEL, your air/fuel will be fine. If you're still concerned about it you can buy a fuel management system (Camcon, E-manage, etc.) and have it tuned by a professional on a dynamometer. However, this gets to be very expensive unless you can get free dyno time, so almost nobody invests in fuel management unless they have installed a turbocharger.
