Performance Headers Question

I had bought performance headers already for my 92' s13 but I was tricked and actualy bought s14 headers, these are realy getting on my last nerve and would like to replace them and if I can get my money back. Do any of you guys know a good headers system that still conects to the cat? I like the way the 4-1 pacesetter headers look. Well if anyone has any info let me in on it. Its ashame most companies cant even have a matching picture for thier items and also some are sneaky, if you have a s13 avoid T-Pros header and downpipe combo its a scam! I'd apreciate your help.

Hotshot, DC, Pacesetter, OBX, Megan, thats a few off the top of my head. There is probably more that I am forgetting.

I think I got the header and downpipe for 120$ I like the 4-1 style since it would help with top end power. Right now there are these pacesetter headers that are 4-1 and look sweet but I don't know if the remove the cat. I think the one I got was a Megan 2.5" 4-1.

Pacesetter is your best bet for a 4-1 for the s13 models, but the welding is crap...IMO

Umm what do you mean by the welding is crap, like do you mean that you have to weld them or do you mean the welding on them is crap?

The welding sucks. On some of the pacesetters you will actually have to grind down some of the welding off of the flange in order for it to seat properlly to the head and gaskets.
EGR tube assembly doesn't have proper fitment on some of them either, the productio is horrible.
FYI S14 headers will work on s13's you just need to change out the egr tube from obd1 to obd2. Some s13 headers have clearance issues that people make do with on the s14.
From my knowledge the DC sports header is worth the money although being a 4-2-1 and costing $300 it shows the best results on s13 and s14 model KA's.
