The more research I do, the more I think that you guys are right. Maybe i will forgo the header and get a test pipe and some springs. I do believe that the 04+ needs to be dropped a little.

A Test pipe and gears would be my choice. 2nrwerks can probably do cryo treated 4.77s in your rearend for around 1k.

The only way to get significanly more out of an NA engine is by combining upgrades. A cai + header + test pipe + exhaust + tuned VAFC (if done right) can lead to 20-25rwhp.

Couldnt have said it better.

Please guys, don't expect to swap a header on this car and "feel" the torque in the mid range or something. Be realistic, consider intake/header/testpipe/exhaust as a chain and as long as one keeps on blocking/limiting the other 3 components, the car will not "feel" more powerfull. Open up the whole system, let it breath, tune it with a 250USD VAFC2 and you are looking at the fastest 30 additional WHP you have ever driven!

Just make sure you don't keep it cheap.
