Header? I Know just a quick Question

Before you flame me, I have searched and read quite a bit but I just found this on ebay and thought I would see if anyone has any feedback on them. I can get a OBX SS header for $160 used but these are alot cheaper.

looks pretty much like the xs power except that that one does not have the bend on the rear header for 6mt. so as lomg as you have an auto it should be fine.

XSpower/SSautochrome doesn't have the 2 flex pipes like the one the OP linked...

Less flex pipes means less points of failure to me...

I did notice some OBX headers on ebay... Is OBX another division of XSpower/SSautochrome ??

I know back in the old days (like 2003) tons of people had issues with OBX welds cracking, but most members love their XSpower/SSautochrome headers...

I agree.

Same with the TL side and OBX. So far most are happy with the XS myself included with over 50k on them
