Leave them on, there won't be any noticeable difference and it sounds better.

You might want to wrap them so the heat will stay in the tubing better.

Good advice

The stock manifolds usually hold more heat which is better for spooling the turbo.

leave the headers on and wrap your exhaust from the collector back you will get just as good spool as guys with manifolds. be sure to wrap your exhaust it does make a difference..

yea...that would work...but what i would do would be sell the headers and get a set of 02 manifolds and get them port matched...and than jet-hot coated inside and out....that would be a lot better than headers...but again thats imo
