Probably not enough to warrant changing them out. Looking at the cost of labor and the difference between your old headers vs new.
Install them yourself and save on labor.

I am going to be installing them, and selling my old ones. Net cost is $400.

I am not sure what the car makes now, never been dyno'ed at WOT.

I changed over to the 1 7/8 KOOKS from TPIS 1 3/4 I picked up about 9 RWHP net and a solid .10 in my E.T...It's all in how bad you want it...

I also sold my TPIS for a net cost of about $500..worth it in my opinion.
