All I can say is that anyone who second guesses this header is wrong. The quality is top notch. The header and spipe bolted up no problem. The only thing that I had to modify was my dipstick. I had to hit it a little with a hammer to move it about half an inch. Is that common on the 05-06's? Just wanted to let you guys know that OBX did a fine job. It looks great, i think its a replica of the DC sports header.

 

Hmm, hows the gains, got any pics

 

i dont like how obx spipe looks identical to stock.

ill rather go with megan, my 2cents

got pics ?

 

bump for pics!!!!! I too was thinking about getting the OBX header and s-pipe for my tC since I have OBX header installed on my 98 corolla. I noticed some pretty good gains when I installed it. Let us know how much of an improvement it did to your tC and if it sounds raspy or not...

 

Draxas S-pipe and exhaust. S-pipe is same size as exhaust piping. OBX is actually closer to stock sizing. Almost no gain if any. I'm guessing 1-3 whp?

 

did you get it on eBay?

 

eBay is the only place I believe you can get one.

 

figured.

 

I got it off ebay. I dont think it looks loike the stock one at all. just sayin its a good deal. I paid 220 shipped.

 

got pics?

 

I will get some pics up on monday.

 

how does it sound with your stock exhaust? any difference? does it sound raspy?

 

theres already a thread for this

when i said stock, i was pointing at the spipe. i hope people realize that directly on top of one of the bends of the pipe is your intake manifold. thats why theres a heat shield on the stock pipe.



vs megan's spipe

 

I messaged the seller about the size of s-pipe, and he told me that it was 2.25" throughout....eitherway, i ordered this header and s-pipe combo and ill let you guys know how it comes out with pics!!

 

still lookin out for the pics..

you still gotta answer the ones that asked if there are any gains.

 

i thought 07's had a different header and intake...

 

They do, but header it doesnt matter... Intakes still wont work because of the flange/mounting design.

 

You might want to measure for yourself, but if the seller says that S-pipe is 2.25 all the way through, ask him/her to explain why there's 2 different pipe sizings welded together. Unless the pipe that looks wider is ticker as well, but that would be really sh*ty design.

 

oOoo

 

The problem is that with the knock off brand header, such as OBX and also the one I got at AutoZone for 210, yes they are shaped like the aftermarket header from other companies, but rarely are they actually tested for "performance." Give it about 2-3 months and that "stainless steel" will actually begin to have rust spots.

Mine has started already and it's been 2 months. I'm getting Alphwerks in the spring or DC Sport ceramic coated. Still undecided but I'm leaning towards the Alphawerks.

Good luck with the install and driving.
