I ran my car with headers and stock mid pipe for a few months. It was only after i fitted a performance half pipe exhaust, did i realise how much of a diff it makes.

Im still using the stock intake filter, so my engine should feel even more powerful once i upgrade to a performance one.

So do you mean that the length of the headers/mid pipe also matters ?

Asking because the link mentioned in the first post said that its the diameter that matters the most.

Can someone explain me or post a link which tells why the length of headers/mid pipe matter ?
