So i've been in the market to get a header. Yeah I know there are some cheap ones, and some really expensive ones. The price ranges from anywhere around $200-$1000. I have always believed the term "you get what you pay for" however this company has been coming up the past year.

We all know the company OBX. Their manifold cracks, cheap quality, bad service etc. However, anyone notice in the past year about their quality goods? They came out with huge FMIC's, real silicone 5x wrapped hoses, manifolds with T-321 steel, LSD's etc. Sure the LSD's has had some problems in the past with installation and how it gets stuck in the axel, but when it comes down, it was always the installation error rather than the product itself.

Anywho to stay on topic, how about this header? Does it even look like good quality? Plus hes local and maybe i can take a look at this and check this guy out. Any reponses would be greatly appreciated.

 

Interesting. On the OBX website, the header retails for $499. But a google search pulled up $190. The website had this to say.

"OBX High performance racing headers are made out of pure SUS-304 stainless steel. Dyno tested at low end and top speed to increase 7~10 horsepower." But I couldn't find any dyno sheets on the OBX site.

 

I have been wondering the same thing myself. I have been contemplating the same header......Let's hope we find someone who has this and can attest to its durability and power....

 

That is on the cheap! stainless and getting someone told weld stainless right isnt cheap!

 

Are those mandrel bends? They kinda look pinched to me

 

you get what you pay for. Dont do it, people will laugh at you its the ebay header!

 

read my other thread for good headers!

 

a good S2000 header takes a lot of reasearch to get right.

i guarantee you OBX didn't do much. I lump them and DC sports in the same category.

 

I had an OBX on my Acura Cl 3.0 and it worked great! fitment was off by a 1/4" but the shop bent the axis to make fit. noticeable amount of power made in midrange, but this was a V6

 

think any header on that acura would have gained power
