    No. About 1%. This has been tested with top dollar headers like supersprint against the factory manifold on back to back dyno runs. 1% difference - and dynos have a 3% margin for error.

    I own headers too. Have driven vr6s without them and cant tell the difference. If I ever have to replace them I'll go back to the stock exhaust manifold. Save your money for something else.

      Only do it if you're going for a higher compression ratio motor.

            Well I've heard Dom's car (dom123) and it's got a fantastic sound to it, and apparently that's because of the headers.

              yeah the headers ad a nice note for sure also add large burble factor, they dont do much for actual performance increases (if anything) but hey i wasnt complaining they came on the car when i bought it, mine are hottuning.

                Forced induction would be more impressive but a lot more money obviously.

                Got some gains with my headers across the entire range.
