Default Headers vs plog w/3in downpipe?
Will a set of speed daddy headers produce more than a plog w/ a 3in downpipe? And if so how much of a difference?

Headers are always better. I don't have numbers, but I'd go with larger headers... SSAC's are about the same price for larger primaries at least.

Agreed, headers are always a better choice for power if you don't mind the extra install hassle.

Power difference will depend on existing mods. The more modded you are, the more difference.
