depends how much you spend on one.
depends how many mods you have already done to your motor
depends how healthy your motor is
depends how well the car is tuned after it is installed.
....among other things

What are the benefits of having an aftermarket header system?

The benefits of an aftermarket exhausts are as follows (all depending on what kind you get, but basically similar effects)

-Better flowing exhaust gasses.
-smoother acceleration
-Slight increase in HP
-more torque due to less back pressure of exhaust gasses.
-motor works less due to less back pressure of gasses.

The flex pipe is not severed like the old one. That's why I replaced my header.

...oh and the performance gains is the great pile of icing on the proverbial cake.
