Just doing header
Will doing just headers (stock exhaust otherwise) make it louder from the tailpipe or by the engine area? Or no additional noise, what do you think?

minutely. How many headers are you gonna run?

pet peeve. we have ONE HEADER! and no, it most likely will not make it louder, as least nothing noticeable. if you change the cat converter out then yes but not a whole lot louder. header alone depending on brand will make your exhaust valves audible...(plm) you have to listen for them but you can hear them.

I also doubt you will see more than 1 or 2 hp gain throughout the range either.

It won't make the exhaust louder or anything, but you may notice that you can hear your valve train more. Not worth it imo if you are keeping the OEM exhaust. The best bang for the buck would be get a test pipe. I put one when I had my stock exhaust/header, and it changed the sound a little bit but sounded great. Also might have gained a pony or 2.
