Default Headers + FI question

sup everyone the mod bug has REALLY bitten me.My car goes in the shop on the 27th of November to get a B&M shifter,160 stat,nitrous direct dry system(100 shot),formato ported intake and tune...my living room looks pretty cool with all the mod parts sitting there

the nitrous system is only going to be temp.fun till i get my FI which im going to buy at the end of january and have install around march

my question is im wanting to buy myself headers for my xmas present and everyone says that on FI cars you need to buy the 1 7/8 size headers....so will my car be alright with the bigger headers for the 3-4 months while its not FI???

TIA

There's always going to be a debate about what size headers to go with. The average responses are bigger for H/C or FI and smaller for mildly modded set ups. You know you're going to go FI so what are you going to do, swap out to a bigger set after 3 months? You're just excited about your upcoming power projects and felt like talking about it. You know the answer silly.
