Should I get a brand name used header (Hotshot with 15,000 miles) or a brand new knock off (XS Power header) I can get either or for the exact same price.

yea that’s pretty well what I was thinking… But Hotshot is a good name and all. Screw it. XS it is.

Depends on the welds on the XS unit, otherwise a used Hotshot proves it works…

if the welds crack, 15$ at any muffler shop and they can re weld anything.

Well I have the Hot Shot and Megan has the XS. I can tell you the ceramic coating on the Hotshot is awesome. It keeps the heat down compared to the XS. I also don’t like how the XS discolors. The hot shot also looks better made.
