pacesetter header...
 
I just installed a pacesetter header on my car today to replace the stupid stock manifold which leaked like hell... made my car sound like a pissed off lawn mower...

quality... as good as any other header i have bought...
price... less than 200 bucks...
installation... pain in the ass to connect to stock system... but it went together... suggest you have a second person help you with the install...
impressions... i am happy with the piece... i would rather the o2 sensor not be on top of the header... but all in all it works... made the stock exhaust sound deeper with no rice pop and crackle...

I was considering a pacesetter. But I'm also looking at OBX and DC. I heard DC is crap for 240's.

the dc is a nice part... i sold one 2 weeks ago to a guy here i knoxville...had i not sold it i would have put it on my car yesterday... dc did a very good job on it... i dont know how well it worked because i never put it on... i got the pace setter because it was in stock at the parts store... i would have had to wate a week to get the obx unit...

how are hotshot headers? they seem to be well made, but i havent heard from anyone on them

Slidin240 06-12-2005 02:12 PM

can i see a pic of it wikd240 i wanna see how it looks

So far the only review i've heard about would be the OBX headers and HotShot headers. Using the Obx header 've heard they aren't too great, the tend to crack, with the hotshot headers (my friends) It seems to be really nice. Wish more companies made headers for the KA engine.

240sx544 06-16-2005 06:56 PM

I have a NA KA. I have a apexi ni 3inch ex. I lost low end torque. should I put on headers or would I lose more low end torque.

wikd240 06-17-2005 04:10 PM

use a 2.5 inch exhaust on a na motor... other than swapping out the exhaust to a smaller one i dont know if a header will help you out or not...

Durrr 07-12-2005 05:43 PM

header would only further decrease backpressure, therefore, killing low end torque, but hotshot headers are nice, i have a friend w/ one and it sounds mean w/ no cats :)

Chiefgmsr 07-12-2005 05:47 PM

yea i know so im gettin rid of the 3in

Slidin240 07-12-2005 09:47 PM

keep the exhaust and stock exhaust manifold. are u plannin on turbo?

simplistek 08-15-2005 08:34 PM

just my 2cents, i heard that the best headers for the 240 are the hotshot headers. im lookin at the pacesetters as well but how do you guys think it'll do with heatwraps?
