Ok, that's better. Headers are a tough thing to put on, not
installation-wise but mods-wise. Why? Because a lot of times headers hurt
more than they help. Usually, you don't want to free up the exhaust pulse
until you have the majority of your performance mods on. You need a lot of
air input before you can try and let it all out. Ask Bernd. I've also seen
it time and again, people losing a lot of their their torque at some point
in their power curve and not understanding what the heck happened.

Actually Gary has a Flowmaster muffler on it, with the stock 2-3/8 in
tailpipe, and the stock y-pipe on v6's is actually quite free-flowing.
The installation can free up an average of 10-12 hp and 12-15 lb/ft tq!!
V6 JBA headers are a excellent bang for the buck bolt-on that only takes a
couple hours!!
Couple this with what he has planned for his v6 and he'll see a big
improvement in his Dak's performance!!
