No question headers work, it is just hard to quantify performance increases especially with the newer engines which is what the OP asked. For my older stock 454 it took 19 secs to go from 40-60 mph, after headers, FF muffler, CAI and advanced timing it took 12 sec. That is a 37% improvement in performance. For me it was worth the cost. I don't think the newer 3 valve 362 HP engines will see that much increase. It would be nice to see the before and after increases from actual users. It would probably cost about $3000 or more to buy and install the Banks system and I'm not sure I would pay that much to shave 3 secs of my 0-60 MPH times. Do you know what the performance increase was with the 5 star tuning? People that have installed this and other computer chips seem to like the performance increase on the newer V-10's, but none that I talked to could really quantify the increase except by "seat of pants dyno."
