Really any name brand header will treat you right. It's the no-name junk parts on ebay that will fail and cost you more in the long run.

I don't think I'll ever bother putting bolt-ons on a d series again. So easy and rewarding just to get a B18B and perhaps a B16 or GSR trans.

^This.

Dude if I was you (not trying to kill your dreams here) but just save up for a b series swap. I promise the end result is going to be worth it. The amount of money need to put noticeable power into you d series that you are going to be happy with is...a lot... take it from me. I had 2 d series engines in my first coupe before I bought a b series. You will be super happy with a b18b or a b20 engine.

I bought my b20 for $535 out the door at a reputable shop in fl and the transmission was $300 picked up locally. Misc stuff brought it to about $1000. It's not that far out of reach man, and in the mean time just focus on maintenance.

I'm sure others will disagree but this is the route I would go if I was in your shoes.

I think B20's are always a bad idea since they're illegal federally (classified as truck engine). Many people find themselves in a situation where they get caught and can't legally register their car.
