Default Need some info for headers

I scored a great deal on some coated Pacesetter LT's from a buddy of mine who is going in a different direction w/ his truck. I had no plans for the exhaust anytime soon, so needless to say I don't have the extra cash to have the entire system done right now. I guess my question is, would it be worth it to go ahead and do the header install, w/ offroad y-pipe with the rest of the exhaust stock? I would obviously get a re-tune from Justin, but if the gains aren't worth it until I can do the whole set up then obviously I won't bother with them at this time.

Thanks.

I run the stock catback with a cutout in it and a magnaflow muffler. I never understood the point of paying $500-1000 for a catback. You will gain very good power up top even with the stock catback.

Alright, I guess I need to get some free time to do the install. Y'all pretty much confirmed what I had thought, thanks.

I guess it's getting about time to get some parts for that LQ4 block i've got sitting in the garage...
