They all seem to be mass produced, cheaply made Steel parts. Chances are that they come from the same place too.

Metal pipes. That's all they really are.

I mean go for whichever one you want. They will all sound like rice, perform no better than stock, and fit horribly. It's really whichever one looks more shiny.

That being said, save for coils or some other suspension part that will actually make your car faster around a track.

Oh wait...this is 240 gen. Disregard my last comment.

Save up another $150 and get this one if you are going for a header.

Hotshot made the best header for the KA because the runners were square matched to the head ports but good luck find one of those now, at least new anyway.

I had that #1 on my car and can tell you from experience that the 4-1 header piece is garbage I threw it away 2 days after I installed it because it started leaking. I did use the downpipe however but did not notice any difference in performance whatsoever. Also depending on the brand of your exhaust the noise level inside the cabin probably will be very very annoying at cruising speeds. I had 5Zigen Cannonball catback and it was really loud, but then I switched to Nismo catback and it became a lot better (both were 3"). From what I heard HKS Hipower and Apexi N1 are relatively quite on KA so would suggest those to you if were to install a header and resonated pipe in place of your cat.

As for #3, my guess is that it will be the loudest one of the three and you might encounter a fitment problem with it.

Performance wise all 3 are in the same neighborhood and will not give you noticeable power just the noise. Save your money and buy name brand because they were designed to increase power except Greddy.hot shot is probably what I would go with and you can find used one on ebay for around that much. My second choice would be DC Sprts.

This is the dino I found that Orion from freshalloy had on his website. Apexi N1 and Apexi cone filter were installed before the header.http://ka24development.com/fil...t.jpg

I have #2. It is a knockoff of the OBX header. DO NOT GET IT. The design looks good but you will have problems in 2 areas:

-Reinstalling you EGR. You'll end up having to plug it.-If you plug it, your plug will grind against your steering linkage causing your steering wheel to stick mid-turn until you force it free.

OP, these ppl are giving you good advice for you own good. A header is an utter waste of time. Combined with a test pipe and a 3 inch exhaust, the header will do nothing more than change your powerband. Gone will be your low end grunt in exchange for more top end response. Any power increase you feel will be imaginary.

How do I know this for sure? See sig. If I had it to do all over again, I wouldn't have spent a single dime on bolt-ons. I would have put it towards suspension, brakes, wheels & tires. The only bolt on you're likely to keep as you get more power will be the exhaust. Forget the rest of that stuff. It's trash.

Don't go with any of those. They all look poorly made. If you are going the ebay route and really want a header go with obx. I'd rather spend $165 on it than $350 on the megan. I've heard good things from there headers. Here is a link to one.
