OBX HEADERS C32

I have been thinking to buy OBX headers which is 299 on ebay, i do not care about fittment. only about performance.
I have found out that obx exact copy of evosport headers. but with very small difference in tube turn. Will it make a problem ?

don't care about fitment? lol...if they don't fit, they may not be able to be installed...or you'll have leaks and problems...and you won't get the performance

How thick are the flanges? I think fitment is crucial to our cars...we dint have much room under the hood. Just my opinion.

The kleemann design looks much better than this. Granted this looks like they are supposed to be equal length but what a mangled mess of metal. Would the stock engine covers still fit? Surely a custom copy of the kleemann design would net a cheap alternative if you wanted to save money. Then you are guaranteed good fit and good quality.

I say go for it. Then let us know how it worked out. You can't find any header solution less than a grand these days. It's worth a shot.

white and whiter
i had the evosport headers, the equal length works and pulls much stronger up top. they fit fine and you'll need to insulate ignition wires. I do not know how does the obx fit.

I don't suppose anyone knows of any dyno's before/after the header swap, obx or evosport? I would definitely try them out with before/after dyno if shipping wasn't so expensive, not that they even ship internationally by the look of it.
