DOES ANYONE KNOW IF THE OBX HEADER IS BETTER THAN THE HOTSHOT HEADER.I HAVE HEARD THAT THEY COPIED THE EXACT THING FROM HOTSHOT AND SINCE THEY ARE STAINLESS STEEL THEY WILL EVEN LAST A LITTLE MORE LONGER.AND THEY ARE ALSO NEWER THAN THE HOTSHOT. BUT THE REALL QUESTION HERE IS WHICH IS BETTER IN PERFORMANCE

I highly doubt it is the same, but its cheap and decent quality so if your looking for a header for your E, buy it.

it is the same so it says.... but what i wanna know is which is better if they are the same.

where does it say they are the same? hotshot is overpriced for what you get. Either way the header is not going to be the bottleneck, unless the primaries and collectors are small. Even the stock exhaust manifold can carry a fully built E past 200chp. I wouldnt even consider the hotshot, pacesetter for E is a known performer, is the obx worth 50 bucks more? that is the question you should be asking.

btw. you will want to run a flex pipe with that obx, and finish porting is necessary on any header.

edit. i always think people are talking about ka24e, nm

yeah,anybody know wich is the best header? you've now got my attention,I logged on to start a thread about this,but 240 already has,personally I like hotshot fan, I have a freind with hotshot products on her car and it bolted right up(I put it on) and performs great,but I don't know about an S13 header,I like the price of the OBX and pacesetter alot more than that JDM bling price of a hotshot,the pacesetter looks like its not a very good design when compaed to the OBX,but I just don't know (WHO DOES!??)
