Bro, I feel your sickness because me too. Lol. These forums makes me spend money I don't have. Lol. My wife is not a happy camper on all the mods but , she will get over it, lol. This is a stang were talking about.
To answer your question yes, there is a major difference between both sound and power between Headers+mid pipe and just the mid pipe.
The headers will have larger exhaust piping to allow much more air to travel freely and faster. Matching it with either a off road mid pipe or high flow catted mid pipe will also relieve lots of restriction over stock catts. With long tubes and xpipe and tune you will gain around 25-30HP easy.
A new mid pipe say from BBK or Lethal will yes bump up the sound by replacing the stock restrictive catts with either no catts or high flow catts and will make ur car breathe alot better and faster! U will gain prolly 15HP due to the replacement of restrictive stock catts. Ur car will sound almost as loud as if you had headers but not that loud.
Both great choices but would obviously recommend the LT Headers over the mid pipe any day bro.
Thanks man, I knew headers in general made a difference lol
I just read some people using shorty mid pipes with their LT headers and I didnt see any of you mention them on your set ups.
Is it just implied that the mid pipe is "shorty" if you're running LT headers? Maybe there's where I am misunderstanding.
I'm ready to pull the trigger on an axle back system...pypes might be it! Just double checking that they wont be too ricey cause that would be no bueno.

Yes because when u have LONG tube headers they extend down under the footwells so instead of it being a normal mid pipe that travels up to the stock shorty headers it connects to LONG tube headers before the footwell area.
Where at? They're $30 extra on AM and I'm really trying to purchase from AM since I feel they really support the community and companies like that are worth the $.
Headers are the way to go, and I think they are on lmr use the st patty's day code and I think its like 15% off. Also don't worry this car is making me broke but so with it!
Hello guys, im new here but I've been reading up on a couple of forums and threads for the 3.7 stang and since we're all talking about exhausts here, what's your guys opinion on the new roush performance exhaust?
Mike, do you have a video of your roush exhaust? I want to get a feel for the sound, i love the pypes by the way, i would've gotten them if roush didnt make such great looking tips
My friend has a bbk set up of lt headers and OR xpipe. He is getting ataks soon, so we will compare our exhausts. I'll upload a YouTube video when we do.
