Question WTF!!!!!???? Can you do this????

So my buddy today was trying to tell me that instead of just buying headers i should buy a turbo header instead to save me money down the road. Im not even sure if i can do that just because im still learning and trying to figure things out!? Its because i am already running down a 3'' custom pipe and im not even sure if i would have enough back pressure!! HELP Please

If you can custom fabricate the exhaust going from top of the headers down to the exhaust ,then why not ?....lol deffinitely will look funny, its like your header will be up side down

dont buy any headers if ur staying NA for a while... when you turbo make sure u have all the money and do it all at once... not piece by piece and matching with ur NA motor

In the mean time, you can buy a turbo exhaust whistle in addition to your turbo headers, so you can have twice the cool factor while spending a tenth of the cost:

I'm assuming a GE motor if he has stock headers.
Listen bro, dont by headers now if you plan on turbo'ing down the line. Stock sucks but just live with it and save your money until you can afford to do something worthwhile to the car... headers wont get you anywhere. Spend alot of time reading on this site as well as SupraForums and eventually your brain will be filled with all kinds of knowlege you would have never expected. Goodluck, and make sure you do plenty of research before you start modding your SC.
