Default Header for D15B7...Worth it?

I have a D15B7 in my Sol, right now I have a short ram intake, and exhaust. I know performance wise i'm not going to get a whole lot out of this motor unless I go FI, but I'm prob not gonna swap till summer, if at all, will a generic ebay header be worth the 100 bucks or so?

why waste $100 if your going to swap? makes no sense. but anyways if you get an ebay header, you will have to modify it and do some welding to it. theyre junk.

yea I dunno if I'm going to swap though. I don't really want to spend 3500 or so for a GSR swap, and if I get a b20, I gotta worry about not being able to smog it, so I just don't know if its worth it.

another way to go would be Turbo. check that out before investing in a header.

depends on what other mods you have, but usually a few horsepower. its worth it unless your going turbo..so if your staying n/a, might as well get a header.

with an exhaust and intake you could expect 2-4 peak hp

Well are there somewhat cheap headers that are of decent quality? I'm not really looking to spend 300 bucks on a header for this D15 thats only gonna do maybe 3-4 hp.
