tsudo or obx header

i have a 89 240sx with the ka24e. i am gonna run the engine until it blows. i had to do a tranny swap and decided to just change the exhuast and header while iam at it. i looked on ebay for some parts and i found an obx header for 165, and a tsudo header for 145. which would be a better bang for the buck?

DCSports or Hotshot are highly recommended. I've heardof fitting issues with OBX. Not to mention some of the welds cracking.

What're you gonna do once it blows? Because what's the point on improving on somethign you;re just gonna throw away. Svae you moiney or do suspension work is my advice to you.

If I'm not mistaken, and I know practically nothing about welding, but I think it is either impossible or very deterimental to weld over a weld.

That's more money right there man. Serioisly, not trying to tell you what to do, but what I think is in your best interest and will save you the most is to just junkyard a used header. It'll be cheap. You won't have to bother with fixing something borken that might just break again.
