do you have an auto or a 5 speed?
and which is better for which? I figured an auto would benefit from the 4-2-1 and the manual would get more out of the 4-1? what do you guys think?

 

that header looks like a deal

 

I think it's more of a personal preference. a 4-1 gives more top end. A 4-2-1 give more low end, I was looking for a little more grunt in the low end. These motors already wined up pretty quick.

 

I'm in the same boat.
I ordered a 4-2-1 and recieved a 4-1.. since I have a 5speed I was wondering if I should keep it, but I called them and asked for a return and the right product.

 

where did you guys order the obx headers from (what ebay seller) and got the wrong ones? i want to make sure i don't buy from him. thanks

 

i got my OBX 4-2-1 header from tuning_depot, on ebay. send me the right one the first time.

 

Thats who I went through. Mine was wrong, but they made good on it. payed for return shipping and everything.

 

yes that is who I used as well.
They just sent a call tag to pick up the 4-1 header..

 

well, I installed the header tonight. it fit great at top and a little snug to the exhaust. I should have listen to other posts on here, because the donught gasket seems to be leaking. The hole for the bracket on the new header didn't line up quite right, but most aftermarket headers don't have it anyways. The drive home was alot more fun!!! I'll post pics soon.

 

can you post a part number for that gasket once you find it?
thanks

 

ok, I got the pics of it installed. The only gripe I have about the header was the bracket did not line up with the bottom bracket to the motor. But most high end headers don't even have that bracket. I had to bend the bracket to get it to work. I thought the donught gasket was leaking, but it was just what i was hearing. Now that the motor has retuned itself. The header sounds nice. Not loud, but good tone when you get on it. The whole power band is better now. Doesn't make the car a rocket, but alot funner to drive. In my opinion the obx header is the best bang for your buck. Not the greatest, but will work.

Just curious...are the OBX tubes larger in diameter than the stock tubes? If they are, can you measure the outside diameter of each to give us an idea how much bigger they are? Also, did you happen to check the difference in weight between the stock set-up and the new pipes? Much thanks!

 

i believe all aftermarket headers are larger in diameter than stock......im pretty sure there heavyer as well.........once you take out your stock headers and have a good look at it and how thin it is you would prolly b like damn dis P.O.S is so cheap im glade i got an aftermarket one.........well thats what i thought haha

 

is obx not a brand name or something?

 

OBX is a brand well known for questionable quality.

 

I'm also having a hard time, trying to decide which headers to get. I know I want a 4-2-1, but having hard time deciding.

 

If you are truly dead set on a 4-2-1 I would say go with the MMW header.

 

I got the OBX off of ebay from tuningdepot and they look nice.140 shipped and I bid and won on saturday and they came today which is wed.Very fast shipping and for the money you cant beat them.
