Some vehicles have wonderful stock manifolds, but the headers can do wonders with forced induction. My cousin's Golf VR6 had wonderful stock manifolds, I told him I wasn't going to pay for custom headers and even guys at the track running superchargers/turbochargers on that pocket rocket kept the headers stock.

Yeah sometimes going too big you actually loose HP / TQ.

Thanks for the info guys!

I appreciate the serious replies. I know I'm never going to beat a Ferrari but was curious to know how my car compared to other GXs.
