I was wondering after reading some threads (threads from 06-07) about headers for the KA they have been a little out dated I was wondering if they have improved there designs so they fit without any modifications. Like the OBX I've heard are a pain the the butt to rig to fit. I would like to find some hot shot headers but cant find any for the 95-98 KA. Any one have 4-2-1 headers on there KA that have good reviews?

I was thinking of these(((http://www.optionracing.com/features/pr ... temID=1763))) but I haven't heard of any one owning them or any reviews.

Any one have a good KA header they suggest or some hot shots for sale?

I bought a OBX last year. I don't know why people say they don't fit well. It was just as hard to put the stock manifold back on to pass emissions when I moved to cali as it was to put the obx header on. (Ok the stock is a little easier since it's two piece..)

I just think most people do it wrong..

Hook up the EGR tube FIRST then put the bolts and everything else on.I struggled just as much getting the egr tube screwed into the stock manifold as I did screwing it in the obx header...

I can't speak for the other headers out there besides obx.

I've since put my obx back on, so I've installed it twice. Honestly it's not that hard..

Also the 2ndary air injection hose goes to a hard-tube. Disconnect the rubber hose from the metal one, screw the metal hose into the header and then attach it back to the rubber hose with the hose clamp. Don't try to screw in the 2ndary air injection metal tube into the header while it's still connected to the rubber hose.
