    I've got this 250cc and I want to start with headers as my first upgrade. Problem is that I can't find if that will limit my options later. If I put some headers on the stock head, will I be able to use these headers if later on I add, say, a classicinlines aluminum head? I know it's ideal to get a matching set of upgrades, but limited budget, time, and effort dictates that I do one thing at a time for now.

    No, I'm not putting a v8 in her. :dance:

    Thanks guys!

    Will the C I Aluminum head fit a Maverick without hitting the shock tower? The intake comes very close to the shock tower on a Mustang.
