PVC would actually be ok for an intake haha. As long as you slap a good filte ron the end. I've seen one before. It looked horrible, but I'm sure it works just as well as the expensive systems.
Yeah with a 4cyl you may gain a few HP in the mid to high range RPM's with a header, but you will actually LOSE HP and Torque in the low range RPM's. That turns many people (including myself) away from a header.
If you got a V6 though (98-02 model), definitely get headers.

yeah... intake doesn't get hot... a buddy of mine has an acura integra w/ a PVC filter and a mosquito screen on it... once it fell of about 100miles from his home and we put his sister's panties as a filter... it was very funny...
