To optimize gains though you should get an exhaust system.. Doesnt have to be a loud exhaust system there are some quiet options out there.
Semtex LOST peak power when he went from Stillen Headers to FI longtubes. I would agree that headers, in general, are a waste of money for this car. The stock ones work well. I would get an exhaust like Daishi said. High Flow cats and Catback would be a nice next mod.

Didn't he lose peak power, but gained power ALL over the powerband? I.E. lower claimed HP, but more usable power?

Yup. That's correct. Curve went up in the midrange and down a little in the top.

I would think he lost the power from switching out of the Berk high flow cats.

But, agreed that replacing the stock headers is a waste.
