Default Name brand SS header has better air flow than stock cast header ?

Name brand SS headers (such as dc.greddy...etc) has better air flow than stock cast headers ? i dont really care about HP gain.cause in fact it might only gain 1 or 2 hp at high rpm....

Why do you care about air flow if you don't care about HP?

They're pretty much linked...you can't gain HP without airflow...so I sure would hope the name brand header will flow better!

because a lot of people are misleaded to the aftermarket headers as manufactures claim it will gain up to "some certain number of HP Gain"..and i dont really believie that without a dyno test..so thats why i dont care about hp gain..but u are right..they are linked...

Well what I'm asking is:

Why do you want an aftermarket header if you aren't interested in HP? Yeah, the gain might be negligible, but if you're not ultimately interested in a power gain you are wasting your money. No?

The gaskits just suck! But I like them because the stock GSR Headers weigh a lot.
