Hi everyone,

I just want to know that if anyone had tried to put on an aftermarket header
and then stock canister, does it make any sense to do so?
Say put Leo Vince or Arrow's header with the stock can, how does the header
affect the power output. They probably wouldn't sound as good as an slip-on
aftermarket can though, but I thought it would be kind of interesting to know.
Is it not?

i had the same thought. it is pretty well known that the stock can flows pretty darn well. plus i quick like the sound of it when you get on it! nice and deep/smooth sounding

The stock headers have crossover tubes that are suppose to help the lower end of the powerband.
You might pick up a couple peak hp using a aftermarket header but it depends on where you want the power & torque.
