c300 racing headers Obx questions
hey guys
I was looking at an aftermarket set of racing headers made by OBX they seem pretty cool but i cant find alot on them I was wondering if anyone has them on here?? and also for our cars are there any negatives to installing race headers?

Considering they aren't long tube headers, I can't imagine there would be huge gains. It doesn't appear they make them anymore but something like a MBH long tube header which elliminates the cats and moves the collector down stream would yield the most gains.

Growing up, OBX and Megan had similar quality issues ie. fitment sucked or in some cases, completely off. That was then though and I cannot attest for their current quality but I would suggest being prepared to curse and yell. Though there have been rare times the fitment was spot on........but then quality.....well weld leaks etc are possible.
I think if it's cheap enough and you're tool savvy and have the time to take the car apart then go for it, worse case is you lose a weekends time. If you're paying a shop then I wouldn't risk it.
