Header or not.
I don't know where to post this because it can go in more than one catagory. Anyways, I don't know whether I should get a header or save up and get a clutch/flywheel. I'm asking this because I will be going turbo but not for a while because I don't have to money for the turbo setup. But I do have the money for a header right now. I'm split on what to do. Any advise or opinions would be appreciated.

if you get a header it is a complete waste of money. You will need a new exhaust manifold when you get the turbo so don't bother. Save for the turbo.

yeah save for the turbo, after you get your turbo you are going to need to get clutch and flywheel eventually. Eventually the clutch and flywheel will give, because they are not made to hold any boost what so ever.

Rep Power: 370 who cares... get the header. What's the header gonna cost you $150? It's not like that's gonna make it or break it when you actually save enough money to go turbo anyways. And when you do have the money, turnaround and sell the header.

Rep Power: 0 I would save for the turbo, you can resale it bought not for the price you got it. You don't get that much gain for it to be worth it in the end. I would get a new clutch and flywheel, because then when the turbo goes in you will be set. You wouldn't have to worry about doing it later. Plus after you get a turbo, it would suck to drive it for a little while then have the clutch start slipping to where you have to replace it anyway.

Rep Power: 368 eh it wont do anything right now anyway.. just waste of money.
invest in a new flywheel/clutch.. although thats if u dont mind the heavy clutch for now..
or just save the money for later. no need to get an aftermarket header if you ever plan to go turbo.
the 1-2 hp isn't really worth it.

Rep Power: 0 Thanks people. I need to buy the clutch and flywheel now because there is something wrong with the stock one right now. I'm not too sure if its slipping or not but it vibrates when I engage it sometimes. I prob won't get the header.
