Gotta go with the header over the other two. This seems like a logical step in a progression of getting more parts for our cars. Just my $.02

exactly. i bet the guys at AEM are all like 'cams? wtf! the aftermarket isnt even big enough to have a header yet! and you want cams....HA!' as sad as it is, these co's follow the paterns that make them the most $. and thats the pattern that works with honda motors

btw, im going to talk to marco TODAY about the header/downpipe again. first time i been to his shop in a few months. i explained the situation and he concurs. might get the megan prototype done after all! and possibly much sooner than we thought.

I'm all for a pully set. Our exhaust is already free flowing and we have MIVEC. Freeing up HP with light weight pullies, flywheels intake ect is where its at.

I voted cam gears, eh... our header is good. I rather take AM cams, because they will be better, compared to an AM header, which wouldnt get significant gains to our stock one.

Watch out for anything by megan racing, they make very cheap products. I had a friend who had a megan catback on his car, it not only sounded terrible but started rusting on him after about 4 months. I dunno, maybe their header will be different.

pulley set all the way. as someone else said, just get your stocker header powdercoated or powerpolished and that will make it look more pretty.

the pulley set on the other hand will aid the MIVEC by being lighter as lrh35 said.

we need Pullies!!!!! The ralliart come with a nice stock header! If it not broke dont fix it. get a RRM down pipe if u wanna help your flow out and a new cat back.

unorthodox Racing said they're looking into lightened pullies... sorry if i forgot to post that... hence why i think AEM should get some Cams.

i see what you guys are saying about the header but to me it would only make since to get it if you are going NA. if you raise compressing and got it ported and polishedwith bigger valves and valve springs do you guys think that the stock header would still be good enough i personally would like to have cams pulleys and a header cam gears are just a waste of time. after you get them you have to pay somebody to tune your car to get optimal performance unless you have a dyno

Well yeah, if you got some high performance cams, new valve springs to complement the cams, cam gear, the engine is throwing out a lot more air, thats when the header would be beneficial. But since we dont have any internal mods available to us, the exhaust manifold that we do have is just fine because we dont have any parts that create more air to get rid of. Get my drift? Hope this helps.

yea, i am thinking about the future of our car in NA form when i say i want the header now. Once new cams come around (they will) we will be able to make good power higher in our rpm band and extend the redline and make power further than we can even rev currently. Yes, we will lose abit of bottom end, but will gain it up many times in the top. how will this effect your launch? rev higher.... more rev = more exhaust. hence, the current header situation i'm trying to resolve.

btw, emailed Jackson Racing. If they made a SC, i would consider it =)
