i would go strup if they would drop the price a little, dc is kind of up there also. i havea obx on my crx and it works fine, my crx is around 180 hp now all motor to the wheels. i was leaning toward the megan though. just because i like how the gasket looks that comes with it

If you can wait until early August there will be a new 4-2-1 header coming out with the tabs for the stock heat shield. It will be dyno'd against all the other headers before it comes out.

I run DC sport, IMO definitely worth the extra cash. Strup also makes a fine header so i've heard.

4-2-1 eh? That would be nice, but i have yet to see a true 4-2-1 for the Xb. It's probably fake.

Nope it's real me and squirrel have seen it and are waiting to get it dyno'd.(late July /early August) you will like it. If you are in Cali it will pass the visual and probibly smog becuase it will use the stock heat shield.

that looks like crappy flow. the bends and angles are no where near optimal. i'd stay away from the obx.
