Default Exhaust change?

Is really changing out the stock short header with new BBK ceramic headers? Going to make any improvement in sound and power? I am not rich so I do not like to waste money useless upgrades. I got flow master cat backs and the stock hybrid X pipe. So any real knowledgeable advice will be appreciated?

You'll get a big sound difference for sure. I personally don't like the way the borla longtubes make the 6's sound... really raspy. Look it up on youtube there are a couple dyno vids out there... the headers and mid-pipe add somewhere around 20hp peak I think. But that's an expensive 20hp lol

The BBK ceramic long tube headers and BBK catty X-pipe are loud and I can feel the extra horsepower. A little raspy than I expected 3k rpm. I took a ride on the interstate 10 to get a feel for the sound and the police pulled me over he said he heard me get on it and chased me down going 75mph in a 55mph zone. He gave me a warning cause he didn't have his radar on caught him off guard all he heard loud mustang wipe on by and had to stop me. I thought I was going to jail would of been # four speeding ticket..
