hotshot is a proven power-adder for a fair price

Hot Shots is what i'll go with, I remember on a local board here that it was proven on the dyno and fitting to be better than DC, OBX, & even GReddy.

header is illegal. our real cat is in the header downpipe, if you take that out, you are running "catless." plus, header=super loud, so be prepared to get pulled over.

the actual Cat is within the headers itself. Ever see the bulge on the stock header? That would be the cat.

He has an S13 not an S14 dude. S13 cat is under the car and he won't have a problem with it.

Hot shot header works just fine. Only issue I had on mine (think it was the 3rd gen - told by enjuku) was that we had to bend the egr a lil for it to fit correctly. Other than that, perfect.

If you need a hi-flow cat + 2.5" full catback exhaust (Trust - japan greddy), let me know, I'm also in the Irvine area, and you can hear what it sounds like - I have intake, hot shot header -> that stuff.

You can buy it from Enjuku Racing like I did . They are one of our sponsors too.

Or you can buy the whole dang system off me once I put in my turbo - you'll have to be patient and wait tho, HAHAHA.

also nismoparts.com has a nice set of headers that are actually cheaper than the hotshot headers. the only thing is that the headers are made by hotshot but to nismos specs. ususally they are more costly than the hotshots but at the moment they are cheaper

Personal experience with pace setter. I hate it. Awful fit, sounds horrible and all the paint litterally burns off and its rusts fast, well at least when I lived in VA it did. I was told this advice by a old v8 guy, I should of listened. The best investment you can make on a N/A motor is a good header.
