#66861, "OBX Header: Any good?"
Jan-18-04 02:20 PM by smileysae

          

I was wondering if the OBX header was any good. I see where they sell for like $200. I was wondering if I should get that or go ahead and spend the extra money and get a hotshot or a greddy. Or if you know one that is cheaper than those two and performs as well then give me the name of it and where to get it please.
Thanks, Justin

Also, what about fuel rails and injectors, should I do this now or wait till my car is highly modified? I'm planning on running nitrous in the summer....

Did the OBX come with a Downpipe that had a O2 sensor fitting as well? Also what size flange is on the end of the Downpipe if it comes with one? Thanks man.

It is on ebay, but it looks like it comes with the downpipe and I'm not for sure about the o2 sensor or the size.

yeah, mine came with the O2 fitting on my downpipe. I really don't know the size, but it matched up perfect with stock exhaust piping...so i assume it like 2.25inches? not sure.

Its a 2.5" Header with 2.2" flanges. It sounds better than all the other ones I heard.

Thanks for the reply man. I will probably do that once I hit Stage II. Was thinkin about going with the greddy since a lot of people have it and love it, but 400 is a lot to spend.

Yeah, thanks for the help, I havent heard anything about it so I thought that I would ask before I bought it. I've heard good things about the greddy and hotshot, but 400 is a lot to spend when you can get close to the same thing for half the price.

im buying obx... i doubt theres really any difference between the greddy header and an obx header... maybe 1/2 a hp... not worth an extra 200$ imo

i really like OBX products and am planning on getting an OBX header to go along with my hi-flow cat and OBX bomber muffler. tuningdepot.com sells a lot of OBX stuff, the headers are $165 there.

How do you know those are OBX? Does it say it anywhere?
