Oh lord, not another newbie asking for what best but are on a budget. In your case stick with stock since you are low on cash. If you are spending $1500 for header and $1500 for exhaust your best bet is to save up for a supercharger just MHO.

IMO A header that costs $1000+ and only gets you 6hp isn't worth it.
If you have the money do what you want with it. However, if you are on a budget $1500 just for header is ridiculous. Especially when gain is very minimal.

Spoon header = The shit

I think almost everyone agrees by now, given the dyno sheet showing the loss.

Sound like you work very hard and long for your s2k. I went through the same thing also, seriously. It your money so I don't want to say what you should or shouldn't do with it, sometime in life it's best to learn something the hard way. Like when your dad told you to never touch live electrical wire.

If you staying n/a and on a budget keep it stock. What wrong with stock? Absolutely nothing, beside saving weight after market can sometime be worst both for your car and wallet. These statement has been debated to death already, use the search option.

well your right keeping it stock will still be a great car but i just kinda wanted something more. i really don't have to but like i said i just want something a lil more. actually to be honest, i want to get a lot of mods and stay n/a is, b/c of my cousin, he has an evo 8 mr, and that sucker is quick. he can keep up with a corvette z06 until about half way of the corvette z06's third gear. and i guess i just want to find a way to keep up with him while still be n/a. we have raced on "our own tracks" and i can keep up with him but that is due to his lack of experience of a track driver but he would beat me in the drag about 3-4 lengths.
