I tried finding my answer but couldnt.

Even though I dont much care for buying some ebay headers, my whole exhaust system is pretty jacked and its about time I replace it all.

Right now I want to spend the least amount and I saw the S14 headers are about $100 shipped vs S13 Headers for about $200.

So... obviously I only want to spend $100. Is there really any difference? I mean they are both KAs. I only found that the S14 has two O2 sensors instead of one and the cat is included in the s14 connecting straight to the exhaust.

Are these the only differences? Any huge difference in pipe bends? Or following body lines?

Just found that header as well. Now im curious if I would be able to use this downpipe when I go SR. Anyone done this before?

If I can use the downpipe to this header later for my SR swap then I'll get this one.

If not then The cheap 4-2-1 header for the S14. I really cant find any difference between the S14 & S13 headers.

i know most people frown on Ebay items...but there are reasons to consider them..we all know accidents happen and with a lowerd car..the first thing to get F-ed up is the exauhst system..i do buy ebay systems for just that reason..if i curb check or hit a high speed bump and damage it..im out maybe $200. bucks total..where if i had a HKS or Greddy/Trust brand..id be looking at more like $1500. bucks from header to tip...id rather waste $200.bucks on my sport...now..as for your question...get a 4 to 1 header if your planning on turbo later on...or swapping out as the down pipe for that set up will fit better and possibly work for your turbo headers....even if you have to change the down pipe..the cat back side should be fine.
