see thats what i thought. But is there a way to make it fit an s14? =(

also about greddy's headers, i read they were discontinued because they kept cracking and had to recall them 3x and they would still crack.

The only CARB legal header for the KA24DE that I know of that is still produced is the DC sports one. The hotshot headers are not CARB certified. I'm not sure if the old Greddy s-14 header was CARB legal or not, but good luck finding one. I'm in the market for one of those myself...

You are wrong.

Again, you are wrong.

The DC Sports header was/is PENDING CARB approval. It's been that way since it was made. It was never legal, and it probably never will be.

i suppose thats the magic/key word huh? =(

and racepar, if i were u, u might as well spend the time trying to track down some hot shots because the greddy ones, like i said, are known to crack. and from other reviews and such that ive read about hotshot, back in 03 or so, they were carb legal. i could be wrong though. just what i read. anywho, thanks for all the info guys.

il just spend header money elsewhere. ie suspension and shit.

Thanks, but I know what I am getting into. I want the Greddy header specifically for it's design. Since I would have to weld an SR head flange onto it anyways for use on my SR20DE I'll beef it up plenty so that it won't crack. Aftermarket headers crack because they are not strong enough to support the weight they are carrying. Pretty much any aftermarket header has the potential for this problem. Suspension on my car is also EXTEREMELY well covered. If you weren't a NOOB here you would already know that though...

Pending is still considered legal until they are denied. Take from someone who worked for a registered importer and talked to the carb board on a daily basis.

So to reiterate my statement THE DC HEADER FOR THE S13 IS CARB LEGAL. So you are wrong. Thank you and goodbye.

On to the dc header on an s14. Not sure if it fits. I it does I still will not be legal as the s14 is obd II and the s13 is obd I. If you have the cash you can take your car with any header to a company in Santa Ana CA called g&k and they will do all the testing to get the header carb certified if it can be. They are a legit company and know their shit. We used them exclusively at the importer I worked for to help in the testing of our vehicles.
