Default Fact or Fiction

After telling the aftermarket guy at the dealership I was thinking about doing headers along with my exhaust, he told me that I would lose more power than gain unless I'm pushing 650hp+. Due to my lack of knowledge of vehicles I didn't question this. Fact or fiction!

Thanks,
Rob

Longtube headers at low rpm. And torque you will loose. Stick with Shorties u won't loose.

Shorties are great just really hard and expensive to install plus you. Can hear the detonation through them. Make sure you Retorque after getting them hot
