u got the new desgn dc headers or the old design? the old design has a 2bolt flange which is more prone to breakage and leakage while the new 3bolt deisgn is supposed to be much better. I would complain to dc sports and see if u could get the new design

OBX are not the best, that's for sure. However, I've never used any, so I'm just going by hear-say. XS Power and Comptech are the 2 good ones for second gens, Comptechs being around $600-1000 and XS powers being $150-300. OBX is basically a small step up from ebay brands...and it's popularity comes from ebay.

its not about beincheap edd ! its about they headers ! they all do the same work . only this issome last longer then others ! know if i wereto talk about rims n sound system then you would have a point . comptech headers are good , there great ! but there 1000 to1200 . thats why iam getting obx!

lmao all headers are the same? Wow, you're a car guy for sure Sure, it might be a 1-5 hp difference, but each header has a different design, sound, and power. If you thought DC headers were bad, have fun with OBX.

dont go with OBX. if you cant afford the comptechs then go with XS power headers. they are cheap and lots of people have had them on here with little/no problems. just do a search.
