which headers

i got a 93' 240sx coupe, i was thinkin bout the pacesetter headers for like 200, but hotshot headers are like 400. Are the hotshot's worth the extra 200?

I personally have hotshot headers for about a year and no problems. so far so good. I havent heard anything bad about these headers when it come to reviews etc. pacesetter on the other hand has had its share of bad reviews, either the fitting wasnt right, lickage, cracks in a matter of months. So i would say hot shot headers are worth to get.

Actually Enjuku has Hotshot headers with free shipping. They are a great company and the Hotshot Headers are awesome. Very well built and no type of problems, especially in their new design. Pacesetter headers are worthless. I was working on 2 cars that the only company that made headers for it was pacesetter and we bought the ceramic/semi-polished coating and that wore off in like 5 minutes and they start rusting very easily. They are horrible and after you buy those pacesetter, be ready to get back a replace after they crack. SO your best bet is to buy the hotshot for only a 130 or so more and you'll be 100% more statisfied.

You really only have 1 choice in the matter.

Greddy has stopped making the header for its 95-98 240's. Plus you have a 93.
The Pacesetter is worthless.
So your only option is to go with the Hotshot.

I hear Greddy is in the process of designing a new header, but I haven't heard anything as of late.

has anyone had problems with the steering wheel locking up when you turn hard with the hotshot headers? something about the steering column getting stuck on the header.

Ive had my hot shot headers for more then a year, that has
never happened. these headers gave me no problems at all. i guess it is the best for the s13.
