Recommended headers for DOHC KA

I've done some research on the best headers for the DOHC KA, the two that stand out are Hotshot and Stillen. Is anyone fimiliar with either of these?

I'd go Hotshot. they have had a lot of coverage and dyno tests have all been very good. Stillen's is eh... plus probably costs more than Hotshot. On my old car I had both and the Hotshot one felt a lot better during hard driving

I've heard so so on stillen. I purchased hotshot and love them. Loss of power in the low end but @ 4K she just opens up. Good Quality as well.

if Stillen = Hotshot then Stillen must be buying them and charging more (like they used to with the intake adapters)

I have hotshot on my 95 but pacesetter is good for up to 94 i believe and cheaper. They don't look as good as the hotshot headers but they will do the job.

I recall Greddy made one for S14's... realy nice too, but I think it's discontinued. If you can find one sitting in the back of some warehouse, I'd go for that one over the HS

Oh Crap! I just got this Email from the Vendor:
Unfortunately Greddy has discontinued their header line. We are updating our store right now and haven't taken Greddy's headers off yet, i apologise for the confusion. We haven't charged your credit card of course, so do not worry. We do offer headers from DC Sports that are of great quality, so please feel free to browse our DC Sports line.

Crap! That leaves us with even fewer choices! That sucks!
