I currently have an Injen short ram intake and a Magnaflow exhaust system and I have been thinking of getting a header. As of now my long term plan is to go with a turbo, but if I did go that route it would be a couple years down the road, the header would just be temporary. I've found a decent price on the HP header, $190, so for this price I'm just wondering if it would be worth it to get it. I'm also not really sure know how much hp anyone has gained from adding a header to an intake and exhaust setup. Also one of my main concern with going with a header is that I don't want to loose a significant amount of torque. I've never had a header on my car so I don't really know how it affects the torque range. So if anyone has any info on this subject I would appreciate it. Thanks.

here's an interesting thread about how the header works in conjunction w/ other bolt ons.
