Because you were talking about getting a cheaper header, proper engine builds and inferior products don't go together...

There are tons of used high quality headers out there for sale.
Typical pricing:
TODA - $500-$700 pending on condition
SMS-P - $600-$750 pending on condition
Hytech - $550+ pending on condition
RMF Narrow - $350-$500 pending on condition
You can find a nice used header, for about 50-60% of the new cost. Just keep your eyes open.

There are a few knock-offs on h-t now, but like what speedminded said u get what you pay for.
Honestly, I think you should take baby steps. Start with a LS or b16 swap then gradually build your motor up. Who knows, you might become satisfied with just bolt-ons.
yeah.... im sure that would be fine.
im sure youve heard the phrase "go big or go home" ...
thats just the kind of person i am. i dont wanna do something mediocre or small. id rather go big.... but maybe i should take your advice..... get a swap and then build a motor on the side....

I agree with bigdare23... Honestly, I'm the type of person who likes to build up to a point, not just end up at the end result. I've got my Type-R, now it's got a TODA header, some nice bolt onts, a nice suspension, and I'm ready to build the head. After I get satisfied with that power, I'll build the bottom end, etc.
I honestly think you should at least TRY starting out small. You'd be surprised how much fun simplicity is.

im sure its great....
the engine is going last.... or at least after this stuff
im ordering my exhaust this week.... FINALLY!!!!
and then im saving for the suspension/wheels/tires next.....

What exhaust system?
Myself personally, I have a DC Sports 2.3/8", it sounds absolutely awesome. However, for my power goals, it would hold me back a bit. I'm going with an SMS-P 2.5", it will suffice for pretty much anything I want to do with the car.
I like your plan... Get the car READY for the power first.
... That is, unless you're baller enough to just buy every single damn part at the same time, haha. I'm not quite that baller, so I have to build in stages.

im not that baller either. i really wouldnt expect the engine( if i am goin to stick to my original plan) to be done till this time next year. it would definitely be a saving endeavor.
invidia N1.... its about $450 plus shipping
2.39" (60mm)...i guess that 2.5" pipe and 4" (100mm) tip....

That's a decent exhaust (even tho it has the ricer slant)
Should have gone with a kink bent 1.5" exhaust with a 200mm Ractive tip...
Haha. Kidding.

whats the ricer slant?
