Recently got obx headers

I recently got obx headers. they are for 94-97 accord but it did not say specifically vtec. i am wondering are they worth putting them on or should i send them back and save for a better header. i know people have said they are ok but i need honest opinions. for some reason i don't have a great feeling about them.
i just got them today so there shouldn't be any trouble in returning them. thanks for any input you might have.

I have them on my car and have no complaints. They fit perfectly by the way. I say put them on and with the money you saved buy something else.

When i get a little cash flow in a few months i may look at those too. I've been watching his auctions. Good prices.

Let me know if you choose to use em. I'd like to see the install, if not just the finished product, you are close by.

Good luck. I want to hear them too!

the install is really simple.. jsut installed my DC sports header last week ... if its a 2 peice like mine the hardest part is unscrewing the 2 old header pipes from each other .. theres 3 screws and they have to be reached from under the car ... you need like a 9 inch extension and even then i had to use an air gun to get them off ( thank god i work in a tire bay)... theres not moch of a sound difference .... good luck

I have the obx headers on my car if you want to see a pic of them installed let me know. Oh like Mcae said its pretty easy install. I didn't have an air gun and it took me like 2 hours. Those three screws he's talking about took alot of elbow grease to take off. I didn't have a 9 inch extension either so I put my 3 inch and 6 inch toghter.

thanks for you help guys. i think i will put them on. and NOMAD i will have them on by the meet on the 19th so you should be able to see them there. so there is nothing special about putting them on then? no hidden things i should know about or complicated componets that would require i get professional help on?
