Header with stock exhaust???

[1997 S14]

i was wondering if getting the header before i get a catback system would cause any problems??  

i also cannot find a good sleeper exhaust systems, you know the ones that look good but not to different from stock that offer maximum hp gains, any recommedations??

I think this is a tech. quesiton.

Anyway... What type of header are you talking about?

i've heard you won't get much gains... but then, once you swap a muffler on there, you get mad gains compaired to the muffler alone.

p.s. does header make your car sound lame? i recall i was at a meet, and a civic blew by, i was like "man that sounds like crap" in which some other man responded, "that's what happens when you get a header"?

lol it's a honda. small displacement, and smaller exhaust in general, our engine will never sound like that. Not even with a tomato juice can muffler.

LOL, I was at school one day (Sac State) and I hear this noise that sounded like a civic. &nbsp;I say to myself &quot;#### civics&quot;. &nbsp;Well, about 30seconds later I hear it again, and I turn around to see some kid on one of those motor powered razor scooter things!

It sounded exactly like a civic..I laughed my ass off. &nbsp;I wonder which would win in a drag?

my friend has one of those! &nbsp;and it does sound like a civic. &nbsp;they're tight as #### though.
