er um, I dunno what kinda factory manifold u have...

but S13's are VASTLY different then the aftermarket style.. pretty much all DOHC aftermarket headers look the same to me sans the S14 Greddy, and I've only seen one of those.....

DOHC headers are 4-2-1 design, while the factory uses a 4-1-2-1 type setup, all the runners run into a log style cast manifold, then it has two outputs that run down by the transmission that y into one pipe that goes into the Catyltyic converter.....

take off your heat shield then look at a pic of aftermarket headers... vastly different

HOTSHOT Headers

WTF isnt hot shot bad?

depends on whether you have dohc or sohc, that will limit your search right there. Pace setter are decent and relatively affordable, I have obx 4-2-1 on my sohc and aside from some fitment issues they are great.Megan makes a 4-1 for the dohc that looks good, but I believe that the 4-1 design is more specific in the power band as far as where it is making the most power and 4-2-1 is more of a broad power range.

ummm not at all. Early Hotshots had some fitment issues but they have remedied that. mine hits on the steeringshaft slightly around hard turns. I have an s13 hatch with a 95 ka24de with a 91-94 hotshot header. Can't beat the quality of a Hotshot.

Yeah but good luck finding a "real" hotshot header new. They aren't making them anymore. OBX'a are good. I've had mine on for quite some time and the finish is still really good. I like the way Stainless Steel turns golden after it gets hot the first time.
