How restrictiver are stock headers on my 5.0, its either get a pair of summit headers or some underdrive pulleys, how much of a difference will the headers really make...

EDIT: keep in mind ill be running an ORH and magnaflow catback

stock manifolds

I'd take the headers over the pulley's.
I would try however, toget something a little better than Summit headers. The old deal bout 'you get what you pay for' is still true...........
you must have missed out on our talk about summit

The stockers are definitely headers, not manifolds.

They are not referred to as headers, they are called "tubular manifolds."

Those are the exact headers I'm running. I love them. No problems so far.

+1 on the summit headers! there's nothing wrong with those headers and they really do make a big difference on how your car sounds compared to stock.Put them on yourself and you'll save even more money.
