I was wondering if anyone has ever had Hotshot headers or Greddy headers on there S14 and what they thought about it. Thanks.

The new revised hotshot headers are supposed to be great. They are full length and replace the secondary pipe unlike the greddy version. I also heard the greddy is prone to cracking. But then again, I also heard the greddy headers are much easier to install. &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'>

The Hotshot headers are great, I am kind of biased since they are sitting here waiting to get installed.

I used to have the GReddy header on my S14 and it cracked at 2 different places and 2 different times. &nbsp;The first time was at the weld of the third pipe to the manifold. &nbsp;It hasn't been 6 months when this happened. &nbsp;So I got that welded as a temporary fix, as I was going to send it to GReddy for a replacement. &nbsp;But couldn't find my stock header at the time so I kept it until...the pipe where all 4 pipes comes to 1 big pipe cracked 3/4ths the way around. &nbsp;So it was basically hangning. &nbsp;Luckily I found my stock header.

As for the Hotshot, I'm not sure. &nbsp;I may get this next time.

Sweet. Thanks for the infomation. I'll just go through the hassle of putting on a Hotshot Headers instead.

hotshot headers are supposedly better, but they have clearance issues with the steering rack on the 97-98 models. if you have a 97-98 wait a bit, because they are prototyping the new version on a friends car to achieve a solution.
