Thumbs up eBay OBX Headers... work?

Hey guys, does anyone have the OBX headers that they sell on eBay? (they go for like $250)... they have the same configuration as the TODA headers but i dont know how good they are since no one has ever talked about them...

post your experiences, dynos, or comments on them...

thanks!

Their turbo manifolds tend to crack quite easily. I would assume to expect the same from their header. As far as gains, I doubt you'll see any. Even J's, Mugen, etc. don't yield all that much, so expect any from OBX. Save your money and stick with the OEM piece.

In other words, save for the J's header or Rick's. But unless you are running a testpipe and a single exhaust I doubt it will be worth the expense. Honda did a pretty good job. Gears are much better investment from what I hear. They are on my wishlist!

If you think that's what it's worth, then yes go for it

Personally if I were you I would hang tight for a little while longer and see how the Megan header turns out to be. It's only $400 and so far from their current line of products for the S, they are doing pretty good.

Don't waste it on OBX trust me

Just do it once. Accomplish looks, weight, and power and get a nicer piece.
If you want to spend $HP to look better, at an additional cost of 250+install, go for it.
