no. When i was N/a i got it because it looked good under the hood.
"Header
Cost | $60-$500
Power | minimal peak gains, powerband will change in the midrange
Difficulty | 3
If you shop around, you can find a used header in good condition for under $100. They do not provide significant gains in terms of peak power"
I got that from 2gnt.com

when i was in my 420a days and researched the headers, it really wasnt worth it at all. the most gain was 3hp. so i would skip it unless you want some "bling, bling" under your hood.

thats what i figured its all for looks. well how about the INTAKE? cold air? short ram? any brands? so far list of mods comeing soon are....neon RT cams, underdrive pully, intake, header, full 2.5" exhaust with magna flow muffler, and MAYBE upgraded ignition if i can find it for a decent price. so basickly im trying to find out what you guys think will give me the most bang for my buck, and if anyone has any other suggestions as far as bolt on's please help.

usually ive heard, for a n/a car just like a f/i car if you have supporting mods then it will take advantage of what you have. In your case; an intake, exhaust, chip, would take full advantage if you threw a header on as opposed to just throwing a header on without the supporting mods..
Also is the ignition really needed at this moment, I dont think so, someone correct me if im wrong.. just my .02

thats why i said ignition maybe. thats more than likely the last thing i will do, and i dont wanna turbo the car. if i wanted to run boost i would have gotten a gst/tsi. i just want something quick enought to get around the civics out her in orlando. i'm looking at building a turbo z31 for the hard core racing.
