Deciding on OBX headers
While trolling around on the site and others, i decided to do some research on "Headers".. I decided to hit up the world wide shopping place.. I came up on these OBX headers..

Anyone tell me any info on this brand?? Any experiences??
If i did decide to pick these up, what else would i have to pick up?? Not having cats, will i get the trumpt effect??
O2 extensions, Motor Mounts, and a tune are needed as i can tell.. What else am i over looking?? Any other details.. Thanks for teh help..

There's plenty of threads on this forum about them, do a quick search. The only thing that is essential will be to modify the tune to turn off the rear O2's and also extensions. Recommended would be Prothane MM just to allow more clearance. Might want to look into Stage 8 locking bolts.

overall they are good. the only issues i have had is with the clamps. they are complete POS excuses for clamps in my opinion. the headers themselves have no problems though. i wouldn't let clamps turn you away from them though.
oh yea, i also have the header makes contact with the frame rail right before the collectors. this is problem more my fault than anything. i fix the issue by bring the midpipe together and clamping it, which hold the header just far enough away.
when i installed mine i also put new motor mounts in. im not sure, but it may have made contact with the steering shaft if i had not because right now it is very close, but no issues.
you are also going to want to get 02 extensions.
overall i am happy for the headers, especially for how much they cost compared to others.
