Re: no header? less power? (evolutiongsr)
Keep the exhaust/header. You want a vacuum effect from the header. When one exhaust pulse passes out the tailpipe it should create a vacuum behind it generating less resistance for the next pulse. Think of a semi truck and you are behind it. You will get better gas mileage as a result of drafting. Well, the exhaust gases are doing the same thing if done right. It can get really complicated, but go with a good name brand and ask some questions of people who have items already installed to see how they like them. Yes, it's just piping, but can be complicated. Exhaust gas flow, velocity, etc. Good luck.
