will be ordering one next month. But as it stands the motor is bone stock. I'm doing an all motor build one step at a time. Will equipping and tunnig this header yield any results or should I wait for my headwork to be done first?? I can wait to put the header on but it would be sweet if I could put it on now.

so the header wont benefit a stock motor ? i plan on doing a mild buildup on an h23 . i only plan to swap h22 pistons (maybe 11.0 cr) and maybe go with a aftermarket cam and valvetrain . after a mild buildup like this, would the sms header benefit my motor any ?
p.s. sorry if i am hijacking . i will modify/delete my post if necessary .

the header will benefit a stock motor. not as much as it would if you had an intake and exhaust system.
i would look into a 2.5" exhaust + 2.5 HF cat to go with the header, and you're going to need custom work to get it to fit to the b-pipe anyway. (i think the SMSP is a few inches longer than OEM, meaning you'll have to cut and reweld flanges etc etc.)
i wouldn't tune the car until all the work is done, since dyno time is expensive. unless you're going to wait a long time to finish up the headwork, i'd wait to tune it.

When you get it fron Dave, that's when!!

Stupid me. I did not mean totally stock. It just seems as if everyone has the I/E/H mods done. Well yes that is what I have as well. AEM CAI and DC header to a 2.5 in straight pipe to an ES oval muffler. Should I still wait??
