Headers allow the engine to "breathe" better by allowing more exhaust to escape and reduce back pressure.
They won't do you much good unless you buy a 2.5 inch exhaust and muffler system to go with that H pipe. I, myself wouldn't recommend Mac H pipe. I would suggest pace-setter or something besides Mac. I heard too many horror stories about Mac stuff.

I just put BBK longtubes and o/r h-pipe on my 90 GT. It sounds great. Longtubes take more time to install than shorties, but I think everyone that has longtubes will agree that it is worth it.

Agreed - when my son and I were installing our long-tubes - I kept asking is it going to be worth the effort? Well now that they're in and running with hi-flow exhaust system. SYSTEM IS AWESOME WITH LONG-TUBES!
