Looks like I'm going to have to go with Hotshot. I know HotShot headers are great, but I was leaning towards the Greddy because they are 50 state legal and stuff. This is a good place to get HotShot Headers:

http://shop.store.yahoo.com/southwes...9ni24hohe.html

They are like 307 with Free SHipping.

Even better:

http://www.dragracing.com

They are $304 there and free shipping. I ordered an Injen Cold Air system for my 95 240sx from them at a great price. THey ship very fast too. I ordered on a wednesday and I got my parts on a friday. cool!

Too bad about the Greddy... but it's not like you're stepping down by going Hotshot. Hotshot is a proven company and their headers work really well (I myself have had 3 different Hotshot headers on 3 different cars).

And for a little over 300? Not bad at all

I just ordered the HOtshot headers. They should be here tomorrow. But I heard from my brother that I will need to get new o2 sensors or something. he said that if you remove the ones in my car, they will break or something. That true?

i dont think it will break. but, since you are already going to have to mess with the O2 sensor, might as well replace it. It's very simple.

Oh BTW. Just ordered my headers. Should have them by monday.

Not if you use the right tools and you don't twist the sensor wire to hell. Then again, depending on your mileage, maybe it might be a good (not required) idea to replace them now since you're going to have the header out. Just a thought

I just got my Hotshot Headers today! They look so purty and shiny!
Lol. THey seem like a very good product too, very solid, it included the gaskets, some nut for something, and wiring for extending the o2 sensor. I placed an order for sensors yesterday, I ordered an NTK for precat, and some tri-silvenia or something for the aftercat(downstream) they are both oem style so I shouldn't need to trim and stuff. I can't wait till they go on and start getting down and dirteh....

Oh, btw my car just turned 65,000 miles.

What is the recommended piping size for a NA KA24DE? I was planning on using 2.5" piping with OBX headers, a Dynomax high-flow cat, and an aero-turbine muffler. If I do this... think I will lose low-end power???

I don't know, they are both pretty good, I was trying to get the greddy since they are 50 state street legal, but I had trouble finding some since many were being discontiniued or something. But seeing on how many people have the HOtshot over the Greddy ( I have HOTSHOT too) it seems that the better choise is Hotshot. I like them!
