:help Hello everyone! I'm just another new guy with some questions. I own a s13 (sohc) and I'm looking for some headers. I have an Injen Cold Air Intake and 2 1/4" piping with a 4 1/2" Arospeed Exhaust. I'm in need of headers so that I can get the right amount of hp! I heard that Injen makes headers for 89-90 240sx but have had no luck in finding them. Hotshot Performance headers is all I've found. Can someone please give me some advice on which headers I shoud go with:smoker

i think hotshot would be the pick of the majority of the board. maybe i'm wrong, but i've heard everyone say go w/ hotshot since the greddy headers are cracking.

Ive also heard to go with the newer gen hotshot headers and not the older ones. I think the newer (brand new) ones have better design and more flow or something like that. Not that ive heard anything bad about the older ones.

Deffinately go with the Hotshot headers. They are VERY nice. Injen does not make headers, they only make intakes.

Thanx fo the help! Another question... What now? After my headers are installed what would be a good way to get some more hp? I've heard pulleys give out bout 8hp but some people say they can't feel it. I don't want "drugs" (NOS) and a turbo kit for the sohc is $3500.00! Some opinions anyone?

definitely hotshot, like evryone else said, it fits better than the others, although it's still hard to fit. there are tons of ways you can get more hp, but the only real way that matters is to get the sr swap, and then put more into that motor. it's not worth it trying to sup up the old ka. don't waste $$ on ka. just my opinion

Thanx fo the opinion but I kinda want to keep it original. There aren't too many sohc s13 out there and I jus want to be one of those few... besides even if i wanted to I don't have the $$$ fo an sr swap!
