Default To header or not To header ...

Current set up:

K&N FPIK2
Berk Test Pipe
Apexi N1 single (63.5mm i thinks?)

i have an emanage ultimate just need to buy the pnp harness and get it tuned.

but i was wondering is it worth getting a header or should i just go straight to tune and use the OEM header.

i mean id hope to make like 225 or something to the wheels (made 200 on mustang with mods minus TP)

id go FI but dont know if that will be any time soon (thats major $$)

hmmm after reading the first page on the thread looks like J's is the one.

but damn spending 1200 then additional 500 for tune and harness thats half way towards FI !

hmmm maybe i should re-think this...

but 5gs is so much!

An aftermarket header should allow one to lower VTEC to the very low 4k RPM range on the F22C from what I have gathered. As a result of doing so, there should be considerable gains in the 4k - 5k range relative to the OEM header since it can only support a lowered VTEC down to 4.9k/5k.

J's header is the way to go, and I won't mention the only one that's "better" than J's.
