Default S/C coming, intake problems? Header Problems?

I'm ordering my TRD S/C next month but I just read that people are having trouble installing headers after the fact. This true?
What about the piping for intakes. Should I get these bolt on before the S/C???

definately put the headers in before the S/C or youll have to pay someone to do it...its really hard. for the intake, you cant do it until you get the S/C because you have to custom cut it, if your going CAI that is

There is only one intake out that will mount direct to the s/c. ZPI is "working" on one at the time. Wait to get an intake untill you have the sc. or else your just gonna have to sell the intake and wait for one that will work.

putting a header after sc is doable.

dont pay some numb nut to do it for you.

do it yourself and you'll learn more.

While they might work. None have been proven yet. MAF position is important, and everyone that has just cut and placed has not done the R&D to prove that its where it needs to be to run properly. Or thats the way I see it. COuld be wrong tho.
