OBX

I have the OBX for my 3.0 too.....they costed me 348 shipped........and costed me a pretty penny to install them...but i was willing to pay anything to get em in before running SooDark...lol....but I heard you can get em installed for pretty cheap, as long as you can find someone to bend the downpipe...

they helped out my top end by a lot....but then again, i have a few other bolt ons that could have contribute to that...

dustbuster4

Once the downpipe is bent, the installation is easy! I've installed 3 sets with the help of the respective CL's owners.

So everybody likes there OBX headers? I have heard that alot of people say they don't help and that they are no good so....? I was wondering how 3.0 were runin with the header exhaust and intake?

III

ditto

anyone else got anything besides obx?

baka_t

Obx is the way to go. I don't think there is much difference between them and the comptechs.

where the hell down here can do that shiz though, ESH?

baka_t

Esh, midas, any place that bens metal tubing.

dustbuster4

I've had mine on for 18 months! No problems here.

EPS CL

They do help out quite a bit, from what I've heard. As far as the quality, you could have the shop touch up all the welds for a little extra cash.

dustbuster4

True, but you can barely see the headers, once installed. Someone would really need to look to see any of the welds (or any of the touch ups).






Grinding the welds MAY help with exhaust flow, but I'm not sure how much.

Hobo

dust is the power increase noticible? butt dyno style?

baka_t

I herd that the stone headers were claiming 20whp. Mite wanna check into those. Run a search on v6p.net.

dustbuster4

Absolutely!

Except for the nitrous, it's the ONLY mod I could feel with the butt dyno!

baka_t

Dust what kind of 1/4's were you running n/a?

dustbuster4

I only ran several n/a 1/4-miles with a short ram. I ran a 15.8 at that time.

Since I installed the Zex (June of '02), I have NO time slips that aren't without nitrous. This covers the time period that I put on the headers and exhaust. I'll need to do a n/a run here soon to see. My guess is mid- to low-15's.


More importantly, I want a 13-sec time slip (I'm so close)!

roddymerritt

Mid 15's, dude no way with a 3.0. When I ran, which this was with one of those little digital things, Mine was like a 14.7

baka_t

Those things aren't acurate man. There are some accord v6's that are running 14.7 with all the bolt on's except FI.

roddymerritt

well do you guys have like port and polish and everything or are you just talking intake headers and exhaust

baka_t

Just the bolt-on's no headwork.

roddymerritt

So do the NSX headers fit our cars? CauseI think DC makes headers that may be cheaper. I would be willing to bend or even weld pipe on if they fit

baka_t

It could be possible, but all the fabrication would be $$$$$.

roddymerritt

yeah unless you got the hook up like me

III

so obx is the way to go.... with having to bend the downpipe 1" to the right?

lost me :P

baka_t

Well, some accord v6 guys were running stone headers and claiming 20whp on the dynos. But the headers are backordered or sumthing and they are trying to get some more. The headers were $400shipped if i remember correctly.

roddymerritt

Never mind on the NSX headers I look at them and they are so different

dustbuster4

Bend the left downpipe (pipe that goes to the rear cylinder bank) towards the right (in towards the flexpipe).

roddymerritt

cool tip
