Do headers add horsepower?

Yes. They also work better with other mods. The more Mods with the right tuning you can get alot of horsepower. But if you expect it to be somthing like adding a Supercharger or Turbo.. then no.

'06 is right on the money! Not sure what the exact gains are on a dak, but on a Hemi you can count on about 20 HP from a set of Long Tubes, 10 from mids and about 5 from shorty's by themselves. Add them to a system that already has a CAI, high flow cats and muffler and the headers may add 30 HP to the mix. With a blower the numbers have been known to dyno at over 40 HP.

Plus they just plain look cool...[8D]

Nope, that's a ceramic coat on them, inside & out. If you get them I suggest you pay a little more for their Jet-Hot factory ceramic coating. Besides them not rusting or even discoloring, they keep the engine bay temps way down. I ordered mine in plain stainless and had them dropped shipped to a local coating shop who did my ceramic coating. It's actually thicker than the factory ceramic coat...
