Any suggestions out there? I'm running a megan racing catback and high flow cat, and would like to continue the megan racing theme if possible. Does a KA24DE header work on the KA24E? Just wondering. Thanks for all your help!

OBX is the best I hear, and they're discontinued.

Personally, I wouldn't even bother with a header on a KA24E. The stock manifold isn't too terrible, and that money spent on a header can go towards a turbo build (what I'm doing).

And no, single cam and dual cam headers aren't compatible.

cool, my only issue is I have this beautiful high flow cat that I can't put on because the stock header and cat have rusted into one lol...I can't even get the bolts cut out of it.

I'm using an eBay 4-2-1 header, test pipe, 3in cat-back. I love my new setup and enjoy driving it. If you want to go N/A, by all means, It's your car. If you do get a header, it will probably be hit or miss on it having clearance issues with the steering column & the O2 sensor hitting the firewall so be ready for that. You already have everything else. I got lucky, no clearance issues whatsoever. Headers are cheap as hell, so don't be afraid to try it!

BTW: AZ gives good advice, save money for turbo.

from my knowledge pace setter makes a set of headers for the single cam in long tubes and short tubes.

pace setter is a decent product, DC, also good. OBX is crap. thats why so many peaple have such problems getting them to fit. a good product doesnt need to be modified to fit right. search for the brands and youll find reviews
