Default New Header Idea....Do Want....

Hey everyone. Got my eyes on a new header set by MVP Motorsports, and was wondering if it's worth it. I'm looking at it, and liking what I'm seeing, but I'd like to know others opinions before slappin' down $450. It may not seem like a ton of cash for some of you, but I want my car to be reliable and powerful, and not break the bank at the same time.

Header: http://www.mvpmotorsports.com/Templa...945&SearchYN=N

So what does everyone think? Worth it? Or move on?

-Matt

That is a really nice piece.
With the power they claim you will get with that installed how could you go wrong...

Seriously? Sweet! Question though. I know I'm going to sound ridiculously retarded here, but won't I end up replacing it once I get my NA-T kit?

YES.

If you plan on going NA-T it will be a complete waste of money.

If you want to stay N/A then get them!

Think about it, That's almost 1/3rd the price of the XSpower kit.

Yeah, it's what I was thinking along with the factor of replacement.

i only bought my headers because when i bought my car the previous owner had the header welded back on and the weld didn't hold. so i had a bad leak. i was on the clasified add section and some 1 happen to have a set so i bought them i am very deep in $$$ in my swap and i am not even done i would be done by now if i was going na-t. 1.5jz is hard to due cause i want to just be single outta the gate. but i notice a lot of power in my car when i added the header. not to mention that i get asked is my car turbo.

but if ur going na-t ill just tell u spend the money on a turbo lol u can get half of a na-t kit for that price or mostly all of it if needed i have some tubo pm parts laying around u gotta a pm

Matt,
If you still got those wheels maybe wait a bit untill I come down to pick them up. I will give you a ride in my na-t. If you still want to stay n/a then you should pick the header up. But I dont think so
