OBX Header

I'm new and I've been trying to find a performance header for my 05 civic LX automatic but i can't find one for this trim or year.

Can anyone tell me if performance header from another year will fit or direct me where I can get one?

I saw one for OBX Header but it was for the EX. How good is OBX? I heard it was not that good.

Thanks for your help.

OBX, BOMZ, APC, ETC are often known as the "ghetto sh*t"

I'd just save some moola and get some DC headers.

That's what I thought. Now, does the EX Trim Performance Header work on a LX Trim? And up to what previous years can I use a performance header? 2003?

Thanks guys.

the ex header is longer, it reaches down below the engine then a cat. the lx has the cat in the header and it ends at the bottom of of your engine (doesnt go under) cus the piping comes up under the engine and to the cat. so ex header will fit lx, just gotta cut some **** off your stock pipes and probably put a cat in.

if im wrong im sorry but this is how i was told it is.

I got a Kamikaze one on my 04. You'll probably feel a little more pull, but not really much, mainly just sound...

once i get my built motor together, i will have a DC sports stainless 4-1 header for sale. Once my new motor is in the car, the turbo system will go back on. So if you are still in the market once my motor is together, let me know if you want it. say $75?

Vantage should not be trusted
