Default Headers question....

Haven't gotten headers yet for my car, and I was going to pick some up next week along with new intake runners and some new tires. What kind of HP increase would I be looking at with the Hooker headers and the intake runners? Just want to know what to expect.

You might pick up several MPH in trap speed.

Personally, I would just go with the headers.

I've got runners, and I don't like them. (didn't notice a gain)

Headers mated to your Y-Pipe exhaust system with a single gutted cat would yeild probably 30-40 horsepower on your car.
