Does anyone make a header for the Ka24e? I thought I saw something about OBX possibly?

I saw in the engine bay that there is a tube running from the header around the back of the engine to the intake manifold? Would the aftermarket header eliminate this? and If it does would there be some sort of plug or device to take care of the hole in the intake manifold?

No aftermarket have three bungs or whatnot. 02 sensor, EGR bung, and the bung to the intake manifold

So, there will be a new tube that runs over to the intake mani or will you just use the stock one?

Also just a note: Hotshot is now out of business!!!

Any other copies? I.E. OBX?

Umm obx and pacesetter arent to good. Why do you want headers just clean up and play with the old ones see what modifications you can make

so you think just don't worry about a header and just get an intake and exhaust?

Right now it's my DD so I don't know what else they make for the car performance wise. I'm ordering a set of tanabe lowering springs and some other styling stuff, but i didn't know what else to do about the motor since there isnt a big support with the single cam.

What is exactly is wrong with obx and pacesetter? Ive had my pacesetter for 9 months and love it. The only thing wrong with it is that it wasnt painted with high temp paint. So now its rusty but it still gets the job done. My friend with an obx loves his also. the finish is still the same 7 months later. For the price try and beat them.

They do not Ali, they have the same bolt pattern but the z24 is oval/squa5re and the kae's are round and the ka's are slightly farther apart...enough to make the header(z24) ineficient to use. peace
