Technically you can put it on whenever you are ready. I am the type that waits until I have to replace a part before I upgrade (well on some things anyway) so I am waiting until I am due to change my air filters anyway, then going with the intake. And I am pretty much at that point now.

I've noticed that not to many people on here talk to much or mention headers for our cars
I know theres not to many options out there right now, but anybody on here have any
I know Stillen makes them

right now only Stillen makes them.. but others are coming out with some.

there are a few threads you can find.. one of them says that the headers caused a huge loss in torque.. do a search..

I'm sure if I did a search I would find a thread about them, but just saying in most topics that I've seen no one really talks about them from what I remember
really the headers caused them to lose torque
must of not been a good set up
I would think after getting headers the next thing would be making sure you have a good exhaust/or getting a better exhuast

hmm, most people tend to have intake and exhaust already before headers.. the few people on here that went with headers did so as an additional bolt-on to try to squeeze out more power..
