i'm also interested. can see it being much diffrent because the stock manifols are pretty big. just in comparison to a 350 chevy were the manifolds kind of run all together along the block the out the back. put headers on that and yes big difference. the jk manifolds come out individually and collect like a header. still curious?

Yup. They have headers from the factory. Minimal gains to be had for sure. If any.

For the $500, chance of melting plug wires, and to add 2HP...NOT WORTH IT!
