Default header hp gain

Is there any horse power gains if you just put in an aftermarket header and not a race header?

Depending on the header you might actually lose HP. Be cautious of what you are spending your money on. Just go with a good name brand product with good reviews.

I did my header and exhaust at the same time. I noticed a difference across the RPM range and throttle response. I would suggest saving so you can take care of both all in one shot.

i dont want to change out my exhaust because i dont need a louder exhuast and a new exhaust is only 1-2 hp
i just needed to know if a short header would produce anything because i cant get rid of the cat.
