the only difference I noticed when i intalled my header was that u can ride out all the gears longer and it still pulls, the engine doesnt gasp for breath as much. Plus they make that cool noise when u shut off the car. OBX for the 2.x are dirt cheap, I payed 110 bucks for a brand new one ceramic coated.

Some people will only go with the big names like DC Sports, because they say that the OBX's crack, I have had no problems so far and the price alone was enough for me to get the OBX. The DC's are over 200 bucks for a minor performance gain. I have the OBX header and OBX CAI and I think overall their build quality is just as good, I mean everyone with a 2nd gen CL has OBX headers, mostly.

Hey I am curious about headers also. Does OBX offer stainless steel and is it worth it to get them? On my last car I got stainless steel because I knew people with ceramic headers that cracked. How long have you had them on your car?

Thank you very much for the help. If you had taken the time to notice, I quoted pebecl97 and was directing my question to him.

The OBX is available in both stainless and ceramic. I got the ceramic because they were cheaper, they supposedly flow better, and I have seen how the stainless ones look within a week, they get all discolored and gross looking. I havent had any cracking or leaking since may of this year when I installed them. No problems so far, hopefully they will be ok during the cold winters here. Hope this helps.

Yeah that helps alot man. I had a SS header turn blue and get that gross look you describe. It aint pretty but I never had to replace it either. The only reason I asked is because I could get the ceramic one sooner cause it's so cheap. I will check back with you before I buy it and see how yours held up during the winter. It will be a few months before I get one because I am doing my suspension now and it is expensive, AGX, H&R's, Engals + labor.
Thanks for the Info.

I know what u mean. I have a brand new set of KYB GR2's in my house waiting to be put in after the winter. I hope nothing happens to the header, I wouldnt think so, but I'll keep u updated.
