There's more to power gains than just peak numbers - you've got to look at the whole power curve to see what was gained/lost.

FWIW, I only gained ~ 12 rwhp on my '01 Cobra after installing JBA 1 3/4 shorty headers.
However, I gained almost 40 rwhp @ 6800 rpm, and had more power just about everywhere else in the rpm range as well.

Well-worth the $$$ & PIA install if you ask me...

Additionally, when doing other mods the exhaust manifolds WILL become a bottleneck sooner or later - that's a proven fact.
