I've heard that the factory headers are best up to about 270 hp, but cannot remember where. What do you guys think of the stockers over aftermarket on a motor with little to no mods.

270 horse is the limit? Im surprised someone told you this..

Save your money and spend it elsewhere, that's what I would do.

Stock headers are fine for your application.

if your going to stay w/ little or no mods then the stockers are fine. If your going to reado the mid pipe and the cat back then go ahead and get aftermarket headers as well. Putting aftermarket headers on a Stock H pipe and Catback wont do anything.

i changed out my stock headers and an h-pipe with 2 high flow cats for shortly headers and an offroad pipe and felt a difference. However if you are still running the factory H jsut replace that or do both. headers alone are useless.

And if you do change headers, get ones with a one piece mounting flange, they're less prone to leaks
