Worth it to upgrade

Would it be worth it for me to upgrade to headers with my setup I have right now? I do have the slp highflow y pipe going into a catco highflow cat into a mac-catback system. I dont plain on racing the car or anything I just like to have a loud good looking car. Its either I get the headers and pay some1 to put them in, or I upgrade my stock ignition to a complete MSD setup. Once again i dont plain on racing the car just looking for loud, and kinda good on gas, lol

Headers are always a good upgrade to get. You have a good exhaust system to begin with, the addition of headers are going to give it the sound it has been missing. Plus you'll get better performance from the car now that 1 of the main bottle necks in the exhaust is gone, the manifolds.

Hope that's what you were looking for.

Yea thats what I was looking for.... Ugh im trying not to get rid of my mac catback system. I'm most likely going to end up with flowtech headers, or chrome edelbrocks. not sure if i want to keep the emissions or not...

Don't get rid of it. Just keep it and with the addition of the headers, you'll have a nice deep and low rumble at idle that will wake the dead at WOT!
