don't waste your money on a header. Save up and do a DIY turbo setup. We fucked around with BauleyCivic's car long enough NA to realize that NA d-series isn't worth the time and money unless you have the money to go all out. He went turbo and hasn't regretted one minute.

Why waste the money now if youre gonna swap it later?

That's like repainting your garage before you knock it down and put a new one up...

I had one, it worked and fit fine...but ultimately it was a waste of $150 bucks and I sold it to fund my turbo project.

the only reason i have an obx header is because i didnt get a downpipe with my h22 swap and someone here on honda-tech got the h22 header for their h23. he gave it to me for fifty bucks and my swap was able to be completed.

edit: oh yeah no problems with the header, it sits there and flows exhaust gas's quite well...

don't waste your money, even if it is only $100, the bottom lines is you probably won't feel any gains on the sohc either turbo it or swap it, I know from expierience, you can mod the sohc till your wallet is dry but unless you turbo it, you will get crappy gains for the amount of $$ you spend.
