So I was browsing headers, and stumbled on some absurd claims.
They started off with this:
Ok, could be reasonable, but keep reading:
Umm, bumped it up by about 10hp did we? That's getting way to high for headers for the Tiburon!
But if you add more to your system:
Forget turbo, I'm getting headers!!

You should receive anywhere between 15-30 extra HP. And the sound is the unmistakable Racing Championship

Add a cold air intake and you will see even more gains, top it off with a 2.25" exhaust system and gains will be right around 45BHP or 37hp at the wheels.

^^ I think overall, i'm probly sitting somewhere around 180 SP. When I play fast and furious on my DVD player, you'd think my car was in danger of loosing it's passenger side floor panel.
That's not funny... It happened to me once... lol
That is the biggest load of... Sound power i've ever heard. Sounds like one of my friends. He has a celica, intake, header, exhaust, pulley. He went on the sites, added all the supposed HP, and went from 140-230 horsepower. Man! It's not like they had professionals tuning the car in perfect conditions or anything... right?
