If you boost dont even purchase a header. and you shouldnt have wasted money on a straight pipe because youre probably going to go bigger anyways

You need to spend some time doing research before you spend a shitload of money of things you don't need. It's very obvious that you have utterly no idea of what you're speaking, and as someone who has seen the results of projects begun atop that kind of knowledge base, I can promise that you will regret rushing into this.

Learn. Buy. Learn. Build. Learn. Drive.

In that order.

You are in the right place if you want to learn.
