Headers: GReddy, HotShot or??? Stainless or Ceramic?

[v-nilla]

I have reviewed all of the messages posted so far on headers but can't find anything on the GReddy. I am trying to find the straight scoop on header choices for my '95 240sx. I have been considering the HotShot and the GReddy.

Can anyone give me a link to an article reviewing these headers?

Has anyone used the GReddy? Have you encountered any problems?

I live in Michigan, how well does the ceramic coating hold up to the kind of winter conditions I experience (salt, etc.)?

Can anyone give other quality options for brands?

Thanks!

Greddy SUCKS. The power gain is unnoticeable since it still retains the primary cat. The unit looks terrific brand new but the walls are thin and it will either CRACK when you scrape your downpipe on a speedbump or it will spring a leak eventually once the unit succumbs to heat stress. After I trashed the greddy unit I got the Hotshot and that header is TERRIFIC! You lose the primary cat so save your dp when you need to get smogged. The gaskets are cheap and thin so get new Nissan ones.

What about OBX, I see on Ebay that they have a one peice design. So There would be no leaking. Has anyone tried this header??

Aren't those just a copy of the hotshot ones.. except poorer quality and a lot cheaper.. ? I'm not sure, so you may want to get some affirmation on that.

I've heard there basically the same as hotshot with the same quality just without the coating.
