I bought a car with truck manifolds turbo set up. It's a 5.3 auto Street car.
Would it be beneficial to keep the truck manifolds, or to go with a tubular style headers?

The benefit of switching isn't going to be noticeable until your setup becomes pretty wild. I wouldn't even consider it until heavy head porting or even aftermarket heads come into the question.

Keep them! If nothings wrong with them don't change it.
