OBX headers for LX/DX

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/OBX-H...QQcmdZViewItem
ok i saw this on ebay...and was thinking of bolt-on right to my magnaflow cat-back exhaust. The check engine light will come on so what do i do...put 2 O2 simulators on the two O2 sensor points? Will that make it work?

ALSO, i wont pass emissions (also have intake, pullies, spark plugs, and grounding wires) so i figured when i have to go next to get it checked i would just swap my stock LX headers back on and get it tested and then change back to the OBX will all of this work?

Convert to an EX exhaust catalytic converter problems solved and you pass emissions.

i say stay away from obx products. your better off with a run in the mill ebay header. i got a header off of ebay that had a spoon emblem on it, everyone that it was real spoon headers. lol i will sell them to you if you want, they arent in good condition though.

ohsnapsjay08 will become famous soon enough
naa everything is easy ashell.. first just spray it with PB Blaster (zips trough metal and make it easy to take off the screws) and definitely use a torque wrench.. its my bestfriend tool eva!! and, make sure to buy one of those CEL eliminator (on ebay) and put it on the lowest sensor hole of the header.. put the sensors, bolt it on and TADA!!! and, last but not least, dont sell your stock header (lx) so you can just put it back when the time comes you need to smog check. thats all bro!

been there done that. i was gonna give up DIY but torque wrench saves me!!

yeah i was thinking of just putting EX header and high flow cat, BUT im still under warranty so i figured i could also just change the header back if there is a problem with the car haha...anyways this is a hell of a lot cheaper than doing a EX swap so i dont really care as long as it will work fine.

So, ohsnapsjay08, all i need is 1 O2 simulator and i will have no check engine light or anything of the sort??
