Default How much power would this header swap be worth?

I have a MTI S2 heads/cam car and the exhaust setup is currently mac headers, orp, flowmaster collector and SLP dual/dual exhaust, I don't have a cutout.

The exhaust setup that I'm looking at is the QTP stainless 1 7/8 longtubes with a 3 inch x pipe setup with dumps before the axle. I may even order the merge collectors on the headers.

What do you think would be the approximate gains from this setup over what I have? It seems like it would be worth some good power.

Thanks
Jordan

I'd say about 20-22 rwhp and easily 3/10ths on a good cool evening for 1/4 ET. These were my numbers for the Jethot LT's and 3" ypipe no cats with the Borla.

I'm pretty sure you confused those gains with the switch from stock manifolds.
