It's probably not worth the extra cash for what you *may* gain by switching to other headers. I haven't seen more then 5-10 peak hp difference between any of the major longtube designs.

you'll mostly likely see gains going with some 1 7/8" LTs, now how much, who knows. gains will most likely be peak. if i were you i'd keep the hookers and spend the money else where.
