Pondering... Tune & stillen headers...

tune for sure, you will see noticeable gains with your setup if the tuner is good. Headers people claim they dont do much at all, but I don't know if thats fact or just people repeating the same thing they read over and over. has anyone done a back to back dyno to prove that they are worthless?

Yes, check out RCZ & Semtex's journal threads, they each have done nice write ups on the Stillen headers.
I am not saying they are bad headers, but this car really does not need that modification yet.

So just the accessport and I'm good huh... Do the headers change the tone or volume of the overall exhaust note?

Well, if you do decide to get the accessport, AAM will give you a custom map set to what you already have installed. But, I believe you can download an update if you decide to add more, like headers or a S/C. So, if I'd suggest doing the cobb AP, seeing how you like it and if you're not satisfied, you can always add more later and update the tune. Just my 2 cents.

As for the tone with headers, you can hear a slight difference topend.
