gonna go out on a limb and say Headers. If you are really wanting to most gains, go with a full cat back exhaust, then headers. Stock manifolds and stock exhaust have lots of restrictions. Just my opinion though.

I would guess you get at least about 70% of the performance of headers by gutting stockers..

EDIT - I misread - headers (or gutting) will give you the biggest gains.
