headers for a six...

well shorty headers will do nothing for you...maybe gain 1 hp but maybe

you want to go with some longtube headers...probably some MAC longtubes would be the best way to go.

there is my 2 cents

well school work is another issue all together...lol

but as far as hp. i'm assuming your talkin about at the crank...it should give maybe 5-10 depending on alota other things, also what kinda mid pipe u use... Mac is the only company that offers long tube headers for our cars, so i'd get Long Tube headers and an offroad h-pipe to match, unless you live in a state with really bad emissions laws...then get a Catted H-pipe

I had Ford racing shorties on my old v6. I never noticed a power gain, but it sounded alot meaner with the o/r X pipe and full exhaust.

If i had to do it all over again, i would have gotten longtube headers, seeing they have more HP gains, the shorties just change the sound.
