which would give more power
Well crummie, I would think that in a full exhaust the header is specifically engineered for the muffler so, it may be a better fit. However the Powerbomb is cheap for an after market header. I am having problems with my older one cracking at the welds. I noticed my bro's (who just bought his) has bigger, wider welds so hopefully they fixed the problem.
Truthfully there probably won't be enough difference either way you go, to notice.

Just what do you mean by "power". To me, power means "torque" (particularly on the bottom end), as opposed to top end "speed". Lots of folks looking for speed, call that power, so there is nothing but confusion.........</end quote></div>
Power is torque, Torque is what moves you either at the bottom end or top end - commonly called acceleration or pull. Horsepower only maintains torque (the more horsepower you have the easier it is to maintain what the torque has done, the more torque you have then the more pull you have and can accelerate quicker). If you are going 50, HP will keep you going at 50, if you want to take it up to 60 then torque will get you there and HP will keep you there.
Torque does all the work and the Horsepower gets all the credit....lol...

Well put buckaroo50. We are getting a little off topic but I've always used the analogy of a baseball batter. You see players that swing and bring the bat around lightning fast. (torque) When they make contact they may get a solid double. Then other players may have a much slower swing and hit home runs left and right. This is because of the power (horsepower) behind the swing.
In summary as reconranger said. Speed != Power.

I often use the analogy of a 'Deisel truck' gobs of torque low horsepower, and a high performance car, lower torque, higher horsepower. Torque moves the weight and horsepower lets the torque do that job easier by keeping/maintaining (similar to momentum) what the torque has already done.
