Will shortie headers help?

I am about to put these things on, I hope they will help.

I dont know what brand they are, but they are a dual cat setup, but not like most. The cats are side by side under the hump in the floor. I am also going from factory 2 3/4" to 3" intermediate pipe with another flowmaster (40 series?).
With mods listed about how much do you think I will gain?
Thanks

FWHP=FlyWheel HorsePower

They look like RK Sport or Arizona Speed and Marine headers if you have a dual cat y-pipe it proably the Random Tech setup.It should help you alot I would say 25 plus with the blower. Just make sure you do not have any exhaust leaks or the car will run like crap.It can go lean very easy that way(ask me how I know)

Because I put SLP shorties on my car and had leaks.I could watch the BLM's go to 160 on the side with leak.After I took them off a hand filled the flange flat the BLM's drop to normal between 126-130.
