thats pretty much it as far as a full mandrel bent exhaust actually made for the e16 and i dont see why it wouldnt ft. if u got it u could just have the shop extend the pipping a few inches between the cat and muffler. there are other co that make headers other than pacesetter but they are the cheapest. the other co header are listed as there product , but is pretty much identical to the ps design. i would just buy a high flow cat and run 2inch pipping and call it a day. it would probably be cheaper
please don't get pacesetter. they really sucks. i have a short shifter for my maxima from them and i'm very disappointed. i've also heard of honda guys getting pacesetter headers and loosing power.
really? no joke? hum, well theres really no one else that makes headers that i know of and as average said any one that does bases it off of the pacesetter so maybe its a good design after all. more opisions anyone? really dont wanna blow my money if ur right and als oi think it might be some good info for all.

I run a Pacesetter header on my E16 and I like it. It is not of the best quality, but I have upgraded the header to suit my needs. The port match wasn't perfect, so I made a couple of cuts up on the flange to separate the headpipes, bolted it to an extra head and lined up the ports correctly. Then I mig welded the flange back together and port matched the tubes to my cylinder head's exhaust ports with a die grinder. After putting it on the car, and racing with it for a few seasons, the pipes began to crack from the flexing of the engine back and forth. I already had a flex joint added to my front pipe and the Nismo engine mounts so that wasn't the problem. I simply looked at the pictures of more expensive, better built, headers for Hondas and such. They have an extra bracket in the rear at the collector, that bolts to the rear engine mount. I duplicated that for mine, and never had another problem. You could probably use the Pacesetter header with out all of that, but just be sure to add a flexible section to your front exhaust pipe to allow the engine to move around and not crack your header.

***** Your header might just line up fine. The average person would not know the difference [or even check the port match]. I have owned three Pacesetters for the E16 and two of them fit quite well. The latest one needed the cutting and welding. For the street, it's not that important anyway. But on my cars, I try to not leave any stone unturned.
I have the same pacesetter header on my race engine exept its armorcoated,it made around 160horse,I think its pretty good unless u can get your hand on a nissan motorsports header,wich is now harder 2 find than a rust free datsun...
