Is this a good deal and brand header?

eh, OBX turbo manifolds fall apart due to extremem heat, and weighting issues. But I don't see what can really go wrong with a header...

But I see used dc-sports headers go for 200 bucks here and there.

Save the money from the header and CAI, and get a fricking turbo kit, I'm so tired of how slow my non-turbo honda is... I think any performannce mods on it are throwing money out the window...

Uhmmm... I think a turbo kit may cost just a lil bit more than a header and cai.

True but if you're planning on turbo later, why buy a header now? It's not like it's a big mod that's going to give you 30hp.

A header is a header, pacesetter's do their job just fine, even though you might have to port the holes out a little to match up to the block.

Any company with a fake Type-R 'R' in its logo is a pretty good indication that their parts are going to suck. OBX-R, Tenzo-R, 'R'acing Sports Akimoto, etc. They're crap.

I'm saying, I have a NA car, and a turbo car. And all the money I've spent on I/H/E on the NA car, I wished I'd saved up to turbo it...

LOL :werd: I'd probably feel the same way about that D-series. All I was saying in an atttempt at humor was that I'd dump the D and start planning a hybrid before I'd dump all that money into a motor with little potential outside of it's class :thumbup: don't get me wrong I've seen some SCEAAARY D's before but not my cup of tea
