Default Difference Long Tube Headers make..Before and After Take of Videos in My Corvette

Recorded videos before and after the Header/X-Pipe/Tune install I recently had done for comparison. I since returned the GoPro Hero3 Silver for some issues, but here is a quick video I shot with it before returning (the after vid). I just wanted to compare some daily light take offs (not full throttle or shifting at redline). What do you guys think?

BEFORE (Intake/Exhaust only) :

AFTER (Long Tube Headers/X-Pipe/Tune) :

Thanks guys, I appreciate it. I havent got to dyno it yet. I was going to dyno tune it the day I got the headers but there were 3 vette's ahead of me. Unfortunately, my car was one of the ~30% of Vette's that throw a check engine light as soon as the headers are on. They just hooked up the laptop and put on a standard tune for my mods to get the light off. He told me, "that's at least another 40whp and 40wtq you have now." I now believe him
