Headers are on! but not connected to the actual exhaust yet lol. going monday to get them welded and my resonator put back on as its gunna be so loud with not cats and no mufflers!
Fitment was great, got a little scared on the driver side as the steering column almost rubbed but its not. Now i have a CEL from having no cats, does anyone know how I would get those turned off? Tune the car maybe?

Nice, I have these on my 06 C350 and mine rub on high engine load taking turns. The option would need to be turned off in the ecu unless they sell dud 02 sensors that send data.

Everythings on, just waiting for the exhaust shop to connect the downpipe to the exhaust. I drove around with just headers and it sounds like a bike gang!

Havent been able to drive the car since the headers are not connected to the exhaust yet, its way to loud to drive, so I have an appointment at the exhaust shop tomorrow at 8am weld downpipe to the exhaust and place my mufflers back on.

I drove the car once to get gas, and I did a first gear pull and the whole car just shakes its crazy haha. It feels like a hot rodder!

Video from the other night, obx headers, primary cat delete, x-pipe, no mufflers, quad tips. So loud do not do this! lol Mufflers going back on next week so its quiet at low rpm and loud at high rpm! Car definitely pulls faster, especially at higher rpm, witch is very nice, intakte and ecu tune coming up next month to get this baby up there!

Yah it sounds crazy right now! Performance wise it pulls a lot more. But I get scared from the noise to go to fast. But definitely more power though. Can't wait to put my mufflers on and enjoy the car more! One problem is the drivers side rubs a lil but I've only had it happen once.

It sounds great! I don't think its too loud. After all, that is the point of exhaust upgrades. However, I will say that I am not there in person. But I do tend to love loud exhaust. My g37 coupe I loved, quiet on the highway but loud as hell when you get on it. Not to mention how refined and cool the exhaust note was... And it was completely stock to boot!

That was great and I agree with jctevere it does not sound too loud from the video but then again we are not in the car.

It's a little loud but it may sound louder in person... Putting the muffler back on might fine tune the sound a little bit

A good place to test your car... at the back of Albertsons supermarket

Keep us posted envyx if you encounter any problems with OBX down the road

I think it sounds pretty good! But i feel like most that sound is coming from having no mufflers, not really the headers.. i guess we will find out when you put your mufflers back on.. good luck
