Suggestions on header?
the j''s racing one is an good choice as well there is a header thread on here that discusses it. and yes if you want some good power go fi its worth the money if you have it and if you really want the power... i/h/e and a good tune can only get you so far....or go itb's witha built motor hehehehehe

You know, I've done a lot to this car and in looking back, you're really better off putting money into something that can produce a lot more power if you really have that need for speed. With most of the bolt ons out there, including FI, in the end, you're going to hit the limit that 2.0 can possibly put out. Hell, you'll hit the limit the rear tires can keep contact with before you'll hit the limit of the motor.

you won't feel much difference with header. you will feel it but not much and will forget the difference very quickly. save money for forced induction.

I'm not an expert on cars though. So take my advice lightly. It's only what I've come to know, and yet have a lot to learn.
I messed with my s2k the whole time i owned it, and after running a bunch of setups, i realized that the stock header is very good. unless youre getting ITbs or FI, leave it be and focus on exhaust and tuning.




How is the M3 going? They are sweet cars
