Default header question

I will be putting a turbo on my b18b motor next year. In the meantime I was thinking about getting a cheap header from ebay the 80.00$ ones. Should I get these or just leave the stock one on until I get my turbo set up. I will still be taking my car to the track this year so if I do get a header should I just by the cheapies or get a nice one?

if you have to ask the question, there is reasonable doubt that you are on the right track.

A ceramic DC 4-2-1 or 4-1 will set you back $270 brand new. Probably cheaper if you buy a used one off ebay as well. Yes it's over 3x as much as an ebay header, but atleast you know it's smog legal and won't fall apart after a month like you said.
