That's like asking if hitting yourself in the hand with a hammer will hurt. Not trying to be an *******, but of course you're going to gain power.

1 search for headers would have answered that FAST. Almost everyone on here has Long Tube headers. Must do something.

As stated. Get long tubes and a custom tune. You're looking at roughly 30rwhp with a good tune.

You'll get the power gain at WOT. I was like "damn" the first time I punched it with headers. But as far as just normal driving goes, you wont feel any gains over the stock exhaust. The stock exhaust flows very well below 3000 rpms.
