Default i/h/e help

As recommended by friends and other members of Scion Life... they said when you have a question..no matter how simple.....simply ASK! And Avoid mistakes.

Anyway... I went with the FX1 cold air intake (many Scion Life members were against it...however it didn't matter to me because I plan on purchasing a ZPI Stage 0 in coming months) and a TSUDO N1 Catback (props to Speed Element!!!)

Now i was curious about the best header and trying to avoid rasp. Also my car is AUTO (at the time there was a 3-6 month wait to get my car STICK in the color and things I wanted and now I'm royally kicking myself) But aside from everything... I just enjoy my car and have nothing to prove.

Anyway if you guys could help it'd be appreciated! Thanks so much!

with any header your gonna get some rasp...you just need to get a resonator welded onto your tsudo exhaust and that will help with the rasp once you get the header. I myself got the obx header and the TRD axle-back exhaust and it gives out rasp like a mother f*****!! Im gonna get the megan midpipe and a magnaflow performance cat and that should help with the rasp...I too want to get the ZPI Stage 0 kit SOOOOOO BADDDDDD!!!!! I just dont have the funds for it...

I/H/E and then a stage 0 in the coming months? Why? Why not just put the money into a savings...

Because its looking more like the end of the year. I've got 2 tours coming up and i need to save some cash in the mean time..so a cheap alternative would be i/h/e. After tour I'll have the time and money to go for that Stage 0 and eventually upgrade to Stage 1.

yea. The Tsudo is 2.5 i was gonna stick with that or just do a custom exhaust. But i haven't heard of any problems with the TSUDO n1 being used with Turbonetics kits. I wouldn't see the difference for ZPI. Thanks for the reponses guys. There is no family...like a SCION family.

why would you buy headers if your going turbo? instead of rasp you should look into quality and performance design.
