Another header option for TSX

It looks like copied version of DC but in stainless and lifetime warranty against defects. Who wants to give it a try?

TSX Header

OBX is a pretty decent header. Had one for my AV6 and the quality was great for the money!

Only problem is, it's not carb exempt (sucks for CA)

It looks good, but without any dyno, I'd be afraid to go out in the blind and buy it.

It says there that it is dyno tested and proven? Maybe email him/her to find out where we can check the dyno out

If there was a dyno and something so that we know it wouldnt break like the DC Sports on that might not be so bad.

OBX is known to blatantly rip off the designs of other header mfgs. Therefore, the performance will be good b/c they are near exact copies of dyno tested and proven designs. Of course, they're a lot cheaper due to not having to fund their own R&D and making their products overseas.

OBX has had lots of quality problems for the j32 header. I would never purchase one.

Could you be more specific? I had the J30 Header for the V6 Accord and never had any problems.

Well, if they ripped off DC Sports' design, then I assume that their header would fall apart as well since it's unlikely they did any further R&D.

cracking; stud holes were misaligned, too small, o2 sensor hole in bad position so it would hit other parts of the car.

especially the welding, flex pipe and collector. I'm sure no one would mind if you get some before and after dyno results as well.

Alrite here are the pics, might not be that good but i think it'll do.One of the reasons i chose this was the fact that it's stainless steel and it doesn't cost half as much as comptech headers.Haha sorry, I'm poor.

I see the first 3 out of the 6. The rest have an error message of "The web site you are trying to access has exceeded its allocated data transfer".
