So can I attempt to sum up a conclusion here?

The primary reason aftermarket Headers/Pipes produce gains are because they remove/replace the catalytic converters. If you remove/gutt the stock header/pipes catalytic converters you will get nearly identical gains in hp (after tune).

This means that spending $1000-$2000 on pipes is not necessary to get a good increase in HP.
