Making the engine exhale easier will be one of the first upgrades to make. There's a lot of options for a performance header, but they basically come down to either 4-2-1 or 4-1 style. 4-2-1 will give more power in the midrange, and 4-1 will give more power on the higher end. Since the B16 is already really strong in the high end, I'm leaning toward a 4-2-1 for more power in the midrange.
Only thing to consider is whether/how soon I'll be adding turbo, because in that case the header will no longer be needed (since the exhaust manifold gets connected to the turbo, derp). So if we end up ready to/able to afford to add the turbo next year, adding a performance header would be a waste of :moneybag: right now.
