I am currently running I/H/E on my f23... to compare the power to all the money I spent, no it's not really worth it. However, it sounds good, makes the engine bay look nice and gets decent top end power for what it is. I just wish I would have known I was gonna go ahead with the turbo before I bought my header.

In hindsight I don't think it was worth it. The dough i spent on my header could have went toward a turbo manifold. I want more power now.....

I definately agree. Build the car that YOU want to drive, because at the end of the day, you are going to be the one behind the wheel.

I personally go for look,luxury, and ride rather than more vtec. Drop it first :rock:

The Tom's header is about the same quality as Megan Racing, and same price too. I'd get it because it's a decent deal, you can just sell it later. Unless you are planning to boost within the next few months, you could make some use of a header before giving it up. My $0.02. IT's up to you though, boost if you can :hihi:

If you can get one on the cheap I say go for it. If you ever get a hole you can get it patched for next to nothing.
