Posted by darosa4561, May-05-03 04:24 PM
well iv heard from the board that greddy headers are the best for performance but what about the new Airmass and OBX headers that came out. do they compare at all or are the greddy headers still the best

i was thinking the same thing. plus the OBX headers and the Airmass headers have the same 4-1 desighn so im not sure if their just as good or better or what. hopefully someone can give some input

I seem to remember that someone on here had their OBX headers crack a little while ago...the ultimate decision for you guys should be what the headers are actually made out of, because they're all gonna perform about the same I shoudl think, but differences in materials (i.e. stainless steel vs. cast iron) is gonna dictate how long they last...that, and if you are turbo...

kamikazi header.
dont wanna shoot me in the foot but i think im the only one with it. so far no cracks, light as a feather, and fitment is perfect. and they make good products, like products that perform well.

i would argue against greddy being the best....ever since day one the header to downpipe connection has never been right...i have went through gaskets like crazy and have never been able to fix the leak...and since they are stainless they turn a nice rainbow of colors when you run the car and end up a purplish color in the end...are they worth $450....no, i wouldn't buy them again..

I'm leanig towards an Airmass too, the blue comp color would go great with my blue AEM CAI...where can you find these for sale, does summit have them yet?

i got pacesetter ceramic coat headers, only 167. gains in higher rpms a little discoloration, not too bad. hehehe didnt spend 400. :-( for minimal gains, spend 400. on nitrous for some real fun!;)

I bought the OBX Ceramic coated header from ssautochrome on ebay for like $200 and it is great. install was a breeze, everything just bolted up. came with all of the right gaskets, has a flex joint in the new downpipe. mid to high rpm gains were most noticeable. i have had it on the car for about 700 miles so far and no problems yet. i would recommend this header.

Im also thinking about going with the OBX or Airmass! Who sells Airmass headers for our cars?? I know Summit has them but not for our cars yet, I hear good things about OBX on ASOG, i also hear alot of guys bitchen about spending $400+ on a header that gave them slight to no noticable gains!! OBX or Airmass for me!!!
