Nice headers. OBX is a nice brand. Mine are like that, except they're by Tuning Pros. Nice grab !

Note that anything less than dc sports may not yeild any gains or only gains in part of the band while possibly causing more loss in another part of your power band.

And chrome is sooo overrated

Looks nice. I bet that'll be fun to install, heh.

"DC Sports" is just a name; not a scale to measure quality by. Some of the best performing parts come from no-name companies.

While i tend to agree with that from time to time, i must say that since ive been in the scene(which isnt long allbeit) all i have seen from OBX is fuckin garbage....hoses that leak, rotors that came warped from the dealer...the club im in is based out of a radioshack that isnt franchise..so he has distributors like Clifford, Directed, Obx, Tenzo, Autoventshade, Lexani, DC, and so on and so forth...lots of awesome shit, but then again lots of garbage...well thats my 2c but all i know is id rather spend some more money for a name which will bring reliablilty and usually a warranty or something then to be stuck with broke shit.

Well, that sucks that you've had such bad experiences with them. That header doesn't look like "garbage" though. The bends are smooth and the welds are clean; it looks like a quality piece. Granted, it's no equal-length racing header, but it wasn't meant to either.

[Ralphie]

Well i havent had them, ive witnessed them. Yea i wont front that header was sharp and not all of what they make is crap just that ive seen too much in too short a time to take a risk...especially on peices that are important...rotors/cooling hoses/headers?...na ill wait and spend some extra dough.

Very nice find... Let us know how it sounds and feels when you've installed it.

I know, just giving an example. Seeing as how dc sports or considered midrange themselves at around $400 new. Some of the best aren't 'name brand' and that's because small racing development teams make them and they can be $1k and up. But those are worth it.

And how 'smooth' it looks can mean absolutly nothing for performance. There's an argument about the low low cost versions of intakes/exhausts/headers and what not. just remember:

Pick two:

Cheap, Fast, Reliable.

DC Sports products are along the lines of products like AEM, Greddy, and Apexi. OBX is along the lines of unorthadox, and other lesser brands. Most times the name does measure up to how the product was produced and the quality of the product. While, i do agree with the statements that not all product need to be name branded, i.e Intakes, some filters, etc, but for a header, i would've gone more of a name branded one to ensure no cracking in the future, and to ensure that the quality of the header remained.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that DC Sports does not make great products; they do. I was simply stating that to compare a product with a name is not a meaningful scale. While the OBX header's lack of equal-length pipes hinders it's performance some, there is no reason to assume it will be of lesser performance than other non-equal headers. The pipe size looks good, the direction of flow looks good (smooth, long bends), and the welds look great. While appearance certainly does not equal performance, it can be a very good indication of reliability; anyone who can lay that clean of a weld probably knows what they're doing.

Ok So I finally got to go down to my family's garage and put the header on along with the new oil pan. The only problem is that one of our mechanics who was helping me out lost the gasket for the catalytic converter and put a minor crack in the gasket that goes between the header and downpipe. So a few days later the gasket blew that corner out. I now need to find 2 new gaskets and not one place around here carries gaskets for aftermarket headers. So i'm just thinking of taking the whole thing to my cousin who is an ironworker and welder, and having him weld the whole fuckin thing together creating a one piece header. I dont care how hard it's gonna be to get off. I'm eventually gonna drop an h22 in there anyways. Thats primarily the reason i went with a less expensive brand. Putting the oil pan on went really smooth. Only I noticed my tranny is leaking from the seal. When they did my clutch they fucked that gasket up too. So thats my next endeavor. Pics soon to come.

u can just ask for regular old stock gaskets, its all te same, at least for my header
