No not really, maybe 5rwhp. You'll get alot (15ish rwhp) from the h-pipe though, maybe 2-3hp from from the catback. Shorties are really a waste IMO, better than nothing if you've got no other options (like emissions restrictions) but it doesn't look that way for you. Longtubes or bust!

Shorty headers are a waste of time and money. If you are going to spend the time and money to swap headers go with full length headers right away.

I know I don't have a 4.6L, but if you have no emissions, and if you are replacing headers, don't consider anything other than long tubes. Long tubes are the way to go
