Default OBX Header/DC Sports... Opinions???

I'm looking for a header for my box, any opinions of the OBX header?
There's also a DC Sports ceramic coated header for the xB.
Recommendations? I'm looking for a quality header at a fair price.
Link to OBX on eBay:

Thanks

I went with the DC for a faster installation. Go with what you know.

There will be another soon for all to see.

I can't say more than that or when it'll be ready. All I can say is that it will be different, and hopefully better performance wise, than what is currently on the market.

ok i boght the OBX headers off of that same guy and love them... no its not a _____ to get those bolts off if you use pb blaster on them and let it soak for 30 min to an hour ( spraying them every7-10 min)... he sent me mine really fast and no damage done the the headers... i notice a noise change in the exhuast after the install and the pickup from 3000 to 5500 rpms is crazy... i noticed a big difference... if you get anything off ebay don't get the "chrome DC sports" they aren't reall dc... my obx headers have the badge of OBX racing on the header... hope thise helps your decission...

I didn't think they were hard either. I sprayed them with the ZEP spray we have over here and had them off in no time.
