iuno about the obx header but heres a list of headers that i kno of that have applications for our cars:

dc sports 4-1
kamakazie (supposely better then dc's)
hp racing headers

from what i heard, ppl have told me dc-sports headers 4-1 sucks becuz its just the OEM header but minor difference. dizwickedcivic (andrew), told me kamakazie headers are better off with. but thats just an opinion. if u alrdy bought the obx header, just stick with it n let me kno how it goes.

No, the DC Sports header does not suck. You should consider it as well as the others. I've had the HP shorty, Kamikaze, and DC Sports stainless. I lost my bottom end with the first two and ended up going back to the DC.

You should loss low end if the header is flowing better, especially on our small engines. That is why you did not with the DC sports cause they blow.

That's my point....I don't want to "loss" low end power, especially on our small engines. It's a little ignorant to say DC Sports blow after all the R&D they put into the thing. It's not DC's fault our engine is designed the way it is and not very responsive to bolt-on mods. Take it for what it is. You may not like it which is cool....I don't like the HP or the Kamikaze. To each his own.

I appologize. After researching on this header more and actually looking at one I decided to actually get one. Just threw it on the car last night. The car is sitting on flat storage tires and no tail lights but from reving on it a little I could tell my throttle response was better.

I have an OBX header for my lx. Fits good just I have to run without a cat till I get a full catback exhaust cuz it won't bolt to the stock piping. Another thing is the Check Engine Light stays on because there is no cat. Once I get the catback I should be able to get rid of the CEL without it coming on again.

other products and parts..

which means he probably moved this thread over here.

the obx header i got is a DC replica. fit and finish was decent for price, and doesn't seem to rob low end too. does it give the high end? beats me. nothing i can feel. but at least i didn't feel any lost power.

imo i prefer dc design, in this case, over other shorty header.. for mildly tuned cars anyway. or rather, stick with stock...

oh yeah obx has a few diff. ones running around.. or rather, sometimes retailers/sellers claim its OBX while its just another generic one.. although OBX in itself is generic..

OBX products generally duplicate another brand's design.

the one above there looks like generic style header.

yeah thats the good factor... spending over $150 for any NA header for our car is questionable.
