on a stock 5.0 your probly not gonna notice any difference, but no they will help you out a bit

The length directly controls the power band in the R.P.M. range. Longer tube lengths pull the torque down to a lower R.P.M. range. Shorter tubes move the power band up into a higher R.P.M. range.

Long tube headerswill help low-end, compared to short tube headers.
