Header advice
I wanna get the new hot shot headers i heard they got a third model out for the KA's. What do u guys think? How are the power gains, do they really make a difference worth $350?
#2
a little story:
a year ago i got pacesetter headers and i told my friend to get hot shot headers, after both cars were complete not ony were his better looking (polished) but quiet and seemed to get more air through, thus more power..go for the hot shots

Does the o2 sensor hook upto it with no problem? I really want these headers but want to research it. Also do you have a picture of it in your ride? Any problems while installing? Thatnx for the help!!

from the engine shot in his car domain page, it LOOKS to be 4-1, but im not sure
the difference is how the collectors merge together. one has all 4 tubes go into one big one all at once (4-1) and the other has them stepped down, as in 2 sets of 2 come together into 2 pipes, then those 2 merge into 1 (4-2-1)
usually 4-1 headers are setup more for topend power, while 4-2-1 headers usually are setup for more low/midrange torque...
4-2-1 is usually better for auto-x'ing and whatnot, where you need more power across the entire rev range, whereas the 4-1 would be better for drag racing/long straight'ed road courses, where you want to have peak overall power

very nice ride! forgive my ignorance, but what style header is that? 4:1, 4:2:1, etc... also, what are the advantages of the different types? thanx!

I used to have a greddy header which is a 4-1 design. That header retained the first cat so it was a bit more restrictive. From my experience owning both the Hotshot is MUCH better.

One very important point: Greddy doesn't make their headers anymore b/c they crack over time! They hang low so if you scrape your exhaust over a speed bump it will stess the header and it will crack at the collector flanges. If that doesn't happen the header walls are thin and little holes will start cracking open over time! So yes save yourself the time and trouble and get the Hotshot header!
