headers vs. ported exhaust manifolds

[enforcer GT]

OK. i have a 2000 gp gt and i dont have 700$ to spend on SLP or TOG headers. ive heard something about Ported Exhaust Manifolds and was wondering if they are worth getting. i have also found a place to get headers for cheap but ive heard bad things about there quality. so i was wnodering what would be the best thing to get for the money. here are liks to exhaust parts i was thinking aboutt getting

WPI PEM

Hulkspeed PEM

W Body Store PEM

S&S Headers

SO if anybody has an opinion on which one is the best your imput would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Headers about 25 hp. Ported Exhaust Manifold 8 - 10 hp. Save up some more money and get the headers.

That's really a good question. SLP and TOG headers are good but expensive and they have their minor problems too. Both of them are a PITA to put on DIY. I went with SLP. A friend of mine went with TOG but he gets weird vibrations because it touches the anti-sway bar. We had to install insulation.

Don't know much about the S&S headers nor anyone that has them. Price sounds good at around $350 - $500. I know they are popular with the 4 bangers. The ceramic coated one is nice at least in appearance. What have you heard bad about them?

He's got a Gt not a GTP, so i dont think he'll see that much of a gain w/ the togs. Maybe save the money and put some rockers on the car.

Well excuse me Rip! Maybe I should rephrase an say "up to a possible". BTW - Nonetheless, I've seen GTs benefit from headers. How much he gets will be based on the totality of his exhaust mods. Headers aren't just for us big boys with GTPs.

The rockers are a good suggestion.
