for cheap headers I would go with a OBX or Megan. It will get the job done and still make power over the stock manifold. I made 199/164 on a stock US motor with a OBX header ($150 on ebay) and intake (open header).

The hotshot was nice, but for the price and the wait time, I was a bit pissed when the damn thing fell apart on me(the 2 peices seperated), unless they changed how the 2 peices attach, I would avoid it.


EDIT-I should say it was nice AFTER I came up with my own solution of holding the header together.

the only thing different is the SH (ATTS) tranny I beleive. The 92-96 is fine.

No OBX huh? That's weird.....
