Headers before Intake?

Headers before Intake?
I installed flowmasters and an h-pipe a while back but i want it louder. I was thinking some shorty headers would do it since i dont have enough dough for LT's. Are they even worth buying? or should i just save up for some LT's? and i was at this motorsports place and they told me that i shouldnt intall headers before an intake cause of some airflow something or another.. is this true as well? thanks guys.

Not worth it anyway you look at it.
Shorty a waste.
Long tubes...for what?
I want you to think of a garden hose...what happens when you turn it on...water pours out...what happens when you take your finger and make the opening smaller?
It shoots out and goes farther.
Now think about getting a bigger hose but you have the same amount of water coming thru it...falls out....put your finger on it...minimal effect...
Get the idea?
The exhaust is the same...until you have a hell of alot of air going in to the motor there is no need to change the headers...especailly with longtubes...overkill....don't buy into the magazine 15 horse crap...
Put a blower on then longtubes then you'll see 15 horse.
Simple physics.

the only problem is that im afraid a CAI/Tune is going to void my warranty so i wanted to avoid getting those until my warranty is up. is it wrong to install headers before getting my CAI/tune?
