i'd say the weapon r. their stuff seems to typically hold up better.

considering weapon r's stuff is a knock off of other companies products


only plus is their stuff is stainless , but its not a good grade of stainless , and they are thiner than other headers

you can't have too many varieties in headers i mean either it fits and works or it doesn't.

I can't really say, i am waiting for pacesetter to ship my damn header... They first say they have one in stock, then in the end their computers are wrong. I am not liking their customer service soo far. I've been waiting since first week in april.

theres quite a few varieties in headers.

HOWEVER obx and wepon R merely copied anothers design. pacesetter is ceramic coated. weapon r, according to their site, is only polished, not ceramic coated.

i just installed my pacesetter ceramic coated header along with a magnaflow cat. the install was very easy and straightforward. it fit really well. i'm very happy with the top end that i gained. my 2.2 3speed auto pulls really hard from 60 on. the only thing i need to do is go buy a resonator cuz my exhaust sounds like pissed off bees.

there is alot of ways to make headers , it just happens that pacesetters was copied

I went with the Pacesetter. I based my decision on the research i spent a few weeks doing on this site. majority seemed to say the Pacesetter was better. It is an easier install than WeaponR/RK Sport from what I read, and people with the Weapon R/RK Sport were having troubles with the header leaking where the primary and secondary meet. 2002 ECOTECs were having problems with the Weapon R/ RK Sport hitting the steering rack or something also.
