-bigger isn't always better.
-if he doesn't know what he's doing, you could actually be giving up hp/tq
-w/out pics, there's nothing to really judge
-every motor is different, there's no set hp/tq increase

They won't be street legal unless they're certified and have a C.A.R.B EO number unfortunately. Smog visual will be a problem w/out that number. Though the car might still pass by the numbers.
Also, don't let the change in sound, or the "butt-dyno" fool you, w/out actually dyno testing the car, there's no way to tell if they actually make any power.

Yea, just ask the gay who already has it installed to go run a dyno test, but your probably wont pass smog with them.

Depends on whether or not they make power.
If you're looking for something street legal, Rev2Eight_EM1 has the right idea. Get something with C.A.R.B exemption.

Your probably thinking of exhaust. Unless he presents you with a dyno chart that proves hes made power, anything he says is just based on a placebo effect. Headers are easy to install, but you may expect to break a few bolts.

They're extremely easy to install with simple hand tools. A properly built header shouldn't lose any power. DC makes C.A.R.B. exempt headers, which may be better for you (especially in So Cal), but they're not known for making much power.
