short tube headers


So i already have V6 magnaflow exhaust, and i dont really wanna cut that, so i was wondering if i got short tube headers, and just replaced my cats w hi flow cats, if that would do much for my car, since i cant do longtubes w/out making my own y pipe
thanks for the help

i don't know HP gains but with the long tubes over shorties u get a noticable 25% better flow from them... its the best thing if u don't have emmisions, the H pipe will allow it to flow better instead of having both sides meet in one spot then split again

full exhaust is about 800-1000 depending what u do, and if u do it urself. id say go gears, i wish i did gears first and a tune.... o yea almost forgot u would need the sct xcal2 tuner which vmp tuning one of our vendors sells for 399 shipped with 3 tunes, u need this to change ur ecu to the right gear size and u can change other things with this to tune it better
