Header. Singular. You only have one.

That said, unless it just want it for looks, save your money. It will not increase your performance at all.

What's your set-up looking like? If you are going to say 94 civic with intake and exhaust, these will simply add some shine to your engine bay. I can't speak to the mpg but I would imagine it won't change much if at all...

Correct. That what I'm saying as well. Next to nothing. YOu won't even feel it. Anyone that says they do, is just lying to themselves. Whatever you've read, you've been lied to. If you add a header and an intake you can benefit by slightly better MPG by way of a better breathing engine.

^^ Agreed.. Many people assume that by hearing more engine, they're actually going faster.. :sigh:

Ahhh but sometimes that's the prerogative.... To hear more engine.

People like to mimic what they like (race car), it's the finest form of flattery sometimes.

Adding just the header won't net you anything.

Getting head is what every guy likes from a hot chick.

Touchè, but the general consensus would state that by simply adding a header to a stock D16, the only thing someone would gain aside from noise increase is a slight weight reduction lol.. I guess some people just like to waste money

I'm pretty sure at one point or another we all started with an I/H/E setup and than it escalated from there.. Having gone from that to fully built turbo, I just wish I knew then what I know now.. My investments would have been significantly different..!

First I'd piece together a quality turbo kit over time.. I'd start by reading, don't rush into anything, read, don't buy cheap parts, read, and utilize what you've learned to reach your goal.. And read some more..

Fast
Cheap
Reliable

I see. A Fast n Furious wannabee. There is a ton of reading you need to do before you even start THINKING about trying to go turbo.
