Nah it actually cost way more than that, but it comes with a MAF recalibration from the dealer and there is less fuss when it comes to warranty as it's a GM part. It also helps with the growing tinkeritus I have with the car. If I happen to visit Vancouver, VPD also can't bother me for it... Hopefully.
The gain is about 15~20 WHP/WTQ from what I have seen online from people who dynoed it.
Mustang GT supposedly has a Ford Performance kit as well that includes an intake, a bigger throttle body and a tune. Costs over a grand, but could be worth it if you are going for maximum kills next time you hit a crowd while keeping the warranty.
I recall talking to a BRZ owner before and he told me that header is usually a mod that can unlock a bit of power and get rid of that torque dip in the mid-range. A header does cost more to buy and install, though.

Yep, if you are going for easy power gains then turbocharging is the clear winner.
That said, there is a reason I picked a Camaro over a used ATS-V. Same platform but I really want to enjoy a big NA V8 while we still can.
