Unless you have some good mods already you wont notice, it's all sound. Header's give the exaust a louder growl, intake manifold whisles when vacum drops to 0.

IM = intake manifold.

If your putting this on a SOHC, I wouldn't waste the money. For roughly $1000 you could turbo the engine and actually get a HP increase.

Go with the Skunk, I dont think the guy is thinking about going to Turbo or else he would have asked, not to be rude.

So get the Skunk 2 products then get turbo if thats what your into. Also, the Pro series Cam's Skunk has puts out better hp & tq than both of the others so, keep that inmind.

yeah, if i were to choose, get the skunk2 IM over the header. you'll want more power down the road and you will probably turbo the D. i know i did. Dont waste money on the header unless your going all motor. the IM can be used for N/A or for turbo. the biggest difference you should go with is a cam. you will notice a huge difference and is cheaper than the IM.
