You may pick up some ET but the biggest thing you have to do is bolt on some extensions to prevent air going up the collectors and hitting the O2 sensors which would cause a pig rich condition which would slow you down

w/ a cutout on the stock exhaust I gained 2 tenths (0.200), and 2mph, and of corse all the other cars I run straight headers at the track, its worth a shot!
