Default Have a quick question.

I tried a search but I didn't find a really straight answer...anyways all I wanted to ask is will the gains from a cold air intake be higher if the car already has headers? Or will it be about the same?
Thanks

headers help it, it all works together. you will have more HP with headers more so than the intake alone
