OBX Racing?

Anyone ever hear of this company? I'm a true believer in eBay (i know some people don't like eBay, but i think i get good deals on stuff, and I don't buy any of the really cheap no name stuff, lol) and I just bought some OBX Racing headers for $170 shipped. I did a search on them on the internet and they seem like a reputable company. The headers looked very nice. Here is a lind to them: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/e...item=7908752476
I hope they are nice. I checked on the website and the msrp is 300 bucks, so I'm hoping I got a good deal.

I read somewhere in this Forum that OBX copied the design by Kamikaze. Some even recommended OBX over DC Sports.

Anyway, dont worry if this turns out to suck. You are not alone, since I am about to click the 'buy it now' button

dude, do a search for obx headers on ebay, alot of them come up, i just couldn't pass them up for the price, hope you get you a set too, and don't worry about all the bad stuff you hear about them, half of it is from people that just jump on band wagons and like to bash on people

I asked the seller you bought it from and he said he will have more later today. I checked again and he posted 3 more but the price went up $10.

edit: I found another seller that sells it for $135 But I was wondering if this really fits 01-up Civic since it says on OBX Racing website that the p/n: H2001 is for 2.0L DOHC 16V.

I know the listing in eBay says it fits 1.7, but let me ask the seller to make sure that it fits 1.7 indeed.

I just got my ebay header.

I didnt like the collector on the OBX one for the 1.7L vtec for the Civic EX

I bought the one similar for $109 plus shipping with a better collector
i just received it and its also full SS.

OBX ex header


The one i received, doesnt have a name on it

^^ who cares then?

I'm sure it'll work as well as the rest. Looks like the runners are shorter than the obx, which I think it geared more towards low end/midrange pwr

ive had mine for about 2 months now. ive heard some bad stuff about obx prods like the header not fitting properly and crappy welds... mine were beautiful, nice welds, perfect fit and with a high flow racing cat everything fits perfect. you got to make sure to wipe down your header after the install. if not, the places you touched it will turn blue when the header gets hot. i wiped mine and it turned into a sick *** gold...mmmm nice! their camber kits are great too. my 2 cents
