the manifold itself is roughly $100-$150 if you want a clean install you can buy a kit for about $220, so in total the mod is about $350 for a gain of 15-30rwhp

I don't think you'll have a largely noticable difference with anything other than the lsd
manifold you might feel in higher rpms but you shouldn't be driving your car in such high rpms anyway unless your tracking it?
LSD will reduce gas milage but largely increase acceleration thus giving you the feeling of a much faster snappyer car....make sure to pay attention to the gearing ratio, i'm not sure off hand which would be the best in your case

best diff hands down 3.38, very pricey but deffenatly worth it. I tried about 3 diff diffs and ended up sticking to the 3.38.
