Ok well while I'm saving up for turbo, it looks like I'm going to have to buy a cheap header to do for a short while. My stock exhaust manifold broke near the cat and is rattling like crazy and i'm sure it is leaking also. I just need a cheap replacement and figure i'll go with an obx or pacesetter header :duh: i can't believe i'm saying that but don't wanna shell out for a hotshot when it will be gone soon. Which one would you all suggest? The pacesetter looks to be 4-1 long tube(i assume top end) and the obx looks like a hotshot knock off..i know i'll have to paint the pacesetter one because the stuff will bake off it.also i know it's generally a none of the above type question but i'd appreciate any help. This is for a 93 240sx with KA24DE. Thanks in advance.

if you are going turbo then don't waste your money on something you wont be able to use. get a stock replacement from a junkyard or forums here. i'm pretty sure you aren't going to feel a difference between stock and some junk like pacesetter anyway.

Go with OBX.

If JB Weld is not an option, then get an OBX $150 off Ebay.

i don't know if i'll even get one. I can't stand the thought of spending money on a header that i'll just take off later....i think i am gonna try to live with it for now..thanks for the help though
