on a stock vehicle, i say little to... well, very little. My track times really didnt improve with the addition of the full exhaust. For what headers back costs, id never do it for HP increase, on a stock vehicle that is.

Hmmmm, so you've posted mods before they are on the car. That's funny!

I haven't done headers but I've done an x pipe and flowmasters and I never noticed a difference. I actually though my car felt slower when I put the x pipe on.

there should be a difference maybe not noticeable to you guys but i believe there should i mean a better flowing exhaust does mean more power.

when you're talking about a stock engine, its not really more power, its just more potential. There is probably a small gain but its not really enough to turn a faster time. Before my exhaust i ran 14.366 @ 98.37 and with the full headers back exhaust i ran 14.294 @ 99.2 with similar tires, which could have easily been a difference in my driving... the top end seemed to get better but I couldnt really turn a better time. Maybe I could have if i had had more driving experience, never know...
