Why is it not wise? I've seen a few threads on here showing little to no gains between stock and aftermarket headers on a supercharged FA20.

I can tell you that my HKS EL catless header with the stock FP is noticeably louder. I have the Vortech SC installed and I'm seriously considering going back to the stock header to make it quieter.

To be fair I have the RS1 quad tip exhaust which was pretty loud even with the stock header.
