Whatev...look at the gains people are getting with the Megan header and exhaust..thats about the cheapest combo ever and its making some decent power

the megan header welds that j-fish had problems with are testament to where many of the cheaper brands "cut corners." That said, I had two bracket weld failures on my Ricks header.



I still think you can't upgrade the S2K cheaply. The car is so well made right out of the box that many "upgrades" are harmful to the overall performance of the car.

I wouldn't trust the fitment or material used. Anybody can slap something together...it takes honest R&D to design the runners and velocity stacks to produce the desired gains. I see these things being about on par with TWM's in performance, but harder to tune and get running right.
I hate OBX. Their website slogan is "Shit is Good!" They're right about one part of that statement...and it's not "good"

Looks good but you'll still have to spend 2k on a stand alone and proper tuning.

It goes back to the old saying:

Cheap and Reliable isn't Fast
Fast and Cheap isn't Reliable
Reliable and Fast isn't Cheap
