How much do headers effect your car?
Might be a noob question, but what is so important about headers that make ur car have more hp? Higher flow or something?

I have the Cobalt Addiction version one header(www.cobalt-addiction.com) and couldn't be happier with it.
A very popular choise around here is the ZZP midlength header/dp combo but some people have issues with the bolts that are shipped with it breaking.
Make sure you get a downpipe too. It is the most restrictive part of your exhaust.

Headers and a DP add sound, but not as much as you think.
If you want more sound you could take out the cat...but...then you have rasp and loudness issues.
I really need to make a vid of my exhaust...so people understand that the Touring exhaust sounds just as loud as the sport under load and has a way deeper and better sound

I see you have 8 posts and I am gonna be super nice. I think headers are one of the most discussed topics on this forum. If you do a quick search I bet you will get alot of results and find everything you are looking for.

i didnt see many results in my gm extrude honed manifold, but of course its probably the most restrictive aftermarket header you can buy..i just bought it from a friend for like 140 bucks so i couldnt pass it up since it was brand new. but i mainly noticed a difference when i changed out my downpipe..with my zzp, so much more high end power and the sound is ridiculous. all in all, you see main differences in downpipes, but when you do the downpipe, go ahead and change out the header cause its just gunna give even more airflow through that downpipe of yours....
