Check the sticky at the top about aftermarket parts for our cars, it lists the part numbers for headers in there. I also have Pacesetter headers/Y-pipe on mine.

Anything that improves flow should add some HP. How much exactly? Depends on what else you do.

Re: headers? which ones fit?

Are there any headers that we can keep and use our stock y pipes though? I just got my exhaust done a year ago and I'm about to put it back under the knife so I can get my cowboy duals on but I also want alittle better sound and the Umph but I wanna keep the stock y and the rest of my exhaust

The Y that comes with the headers is way better. More of a true Y instead of the T that's standard.

The Pacesetter Y-pipe also is mandrel bent, which means there are no kinks in the bends.
