OBX Headers on 3.0 Resonance
I read on a lot of threads about the resonance a lot of guys were hearing after putting the OBX headers on there 3.0. I had this problem and it turned out to be the down pipe shifting over and hitting that brace that sits next to it. It was loudest when I made right turns. I took the brace off and ground about a 1/4 inch off where the thing was hiting(it was obvious) and this fixed the problem.
I hope this helps you guys out there with the OBX Headers.

A-CL Post Whore w/N2O
Initially, when I installed my OBX headers (hey, it's been just about a year now
), I had minimal resonance problems.
Since I had the engine swap last month, I've got that damn resonance coming from the downpipe banging against the cross member! :thumbsdn:
I has to do with where the dude (who dropped in my engine) aligned the downpipe's hanger (pressed right up against the hanger welded to the car.
When I get a chance (SOON), I'm gonna unbolt the downpipe from the cat, and reposition it where I had it before.
It's driving me nuts!![Crazy](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/crazy.gif)
EDIT: Maybe I'll grind a little off of the "brace". We'll see.
