Header...............you know you're eventually gonna get it anyway, and it will give you more time to think about what kind of audio system (and therefore which deck) you are looking to buy.

Header, and if you're gonna buy a deck, dont buy Sony, just about everyone i know that has bought one has hated it and got something else. Alpine, Pioneer, or Kenwood is the way to go.

<< eclipse is the way to go >>


i was giving comparisons to the price brackets sony is in, i agree eclipse would be the way to go if planning to spend a little more, but even the top of the line sony deck is cheap, so a jump to eclipse would be alot for someone talking about purchasing a sony

when you get a turbo, you'll need a custom exhaust manifold

because of the way a turbo works, it takes exhaust from the manifold and uses it to spool up the turbine, you can't use a tuned header designed for an NA car. you have to get a custom header if you're gonna have any at all. do some more research about turbos, there's a lot of information out there.

and renditions, get the header!

CapYoda has a spectacular aura aboutCapYoda has a spectacular aura about
why are u getting a header?

for performance reasons? if so, in my opinion, value on bolt-ons are next to nothing. you hardly gain any performance, and with the amount you're paying for, you could have done something much more practical, useful. (ie: buy gas.)

I'll go for a deck for the fact that I dont believe bolt ons do much for our car besides messing with the power band, and maybe adding some gain in the peak hp/torque in some conditions.

if u want to get header for any other reasons though, make sure its worth the 200-300 bucks you'll be spending.
