pics of OBX headers on a 2.3

i was just wondering if anyone could send me pics of OBX headers on their 2.3...i would like to get headers for my car and i'll probably end up with OBX and want to see what they look like on the car. Since I don't race I really didn't see the point in spending more $$ on something like DC Sports and from the searches I have done no one seemed to have any problems with their OBX ones. I would just like a little gain and something that looks better than that ugly heat shield. Also, what is the difference (other than price) between stainless and ceramic headers? Thanks a bunch

SS headers are heavier and ceramics are lighter. SS is also stronger than ceramics

I've got the OBX stainless header but no digital camera. The pics that ju5tchi11in posted show the ceramic headers, which will stay the same silver color. The stainless headers discolor from the heat. Mine are mostly purple, blue and gold. Send me your camera and I'll send you a pic

well you prolly gain around 5 hp i guess. but if you already got intake and a catback then i think it will be a lil more. you can go on ebay and probably get some headers for around 150

Those pics are of my old car. Yea, the strut works on the Accord just like about every other part. I still have laying up in the attic if anyone interested.

like I said.... not my car... borrowed pics...

The stock strut bar is pretty good besides looking... it attaches in 3 places better than just 2.

He is talking about getting the 2.3 headers. the 3.0 headers are about 300 or something like that on ebay, which is cheap or perhaps lower these days.
