they finally arrived .. took some pics..
they came with everything including O-RINGS..




Few closeups of the sloppy welds.. but who cares right?
Its not like you can see it once installed.





Assembled


will be installed this friday.. cant wait..

 

I think the quailty on those looks very good. I wish they would copy comptechs design of the 6-speed header as well. Damn OBX, why they gotta tease me?:pfawk:

 

Same here. I wish taht they would make them for the 6-Speed

 

hey now... I wish I HADDD the 6spd.. =(

 

damn I am still to not having new ring gaskets... I am

 

Sloppy welds or not it'll still look and obviously be better than stock...

Mine should be shipped out by the 11th...Can't wait

 

if those welds are sloppy I should hate myself when I saw the removed stock headers, the looked like 200 yrs old rusty drain pipes..

 

are you going to mummify your header?

 

nah,.. I just baked them in couple hundred miles... they are golden now! Well broken in ... wait a sec there is no such thing as a broken in headers ....

 

and your back header in the pic gets the OBX badge

 

looks just like mine

except, I have to wait until Saturday to get them in..

 

Whats the deal?? it says that its lifetime warranty but theres soo many exceptions.. like the picture says.. "will not warranty under normal wear and tear from daily usage "?.. whats that supposed to mean? or "corrosion from the natural elements?".. so if these things rust out.. then we're basically S.O.L?

 

i think they sent you the prototype.. hehe..
it didnt came with O-rings, gaskets, or badge??

 

damn im still waiting for mine

when did you order yours??

 

Stupid question - why it doesn't fit 6 speed.

Thanks.

 

Is it the front or the rear header that get the OBX badge?

 

Yea, I must admit that those welds look better then Nashua’s original photos.

I guess those 14-year old Taiwanese sweatshop welders have been getting practice and looking at the photos of the Comptech’s I posted.

As for the warranty, I don’t think it’s too restrictive.
As long as you guys don’t ever START your engine or drive in the rain you should be OK with those Headers installed on your Honda Accord.

at least my set , had the rear header had the badage...

 

ordered mine oct 4.. got it 5 days later on the 9th..
i live in canada.. thats y it took a bit longer..

 

how do you tell which one is front and rear.?. they both seem to fit.. both ways..

 

why cant it be carb certified...sniff sniff sniff

I guess since a new car doesnt have to be smogged for 4 years that I guess I could buy it and then take it out before that time.......muuuhahahahha

 

there's an extra kink required in one of the pipes, so that a part that the 6speed has and the auto doesn't can fit.

don't pick on my homeland biatch...just check to see where most items in your house is made

THE MOTHER COUNTRY!

 

Mine are also turning a nice golden-brown!

 

No kidding..anyone knows?

 

RANDOMWALK - I heard you wrapped your headers.. any benefits?

 

THR BADGE IS IN THE REAR!

 

Keep the heat inside the tube and exit the rear...like the way it is supposed to. Also keep engine bay cooler, good for parts like electrical wiring from melting/hardening over time, A/C condensor doesnt have to work against the radiating heat as much, and cooler engine bay, cooler air = a little more power for engine. Stock has the heat shield for thus purpose...too bad OBX didn't put some bracket for the heat shield...looks like wrapping is the only way to fly.

 

How do you determine this? cuz if you flip it around, it'll fit the front too...Common sense is that it should be on the front though...cuz who's going to see the OBX badge from the REAR??

 

the angle of the flanges is different on the front and rear bank, its impossible to put it together wrong because it just wont work, and yes, the header bank with the OBX nameplate goes on the rear.

 

but wont keeping the heat inside the tube..puts more stress on them? from the heat?
and what kind of heat wrap did you use.? where can i get some?

 

May be more stress on the tube, but who cares, it's only $340...should last for awhile..and if it breaks, there is a lifetime warranty.

 

haha read the fine lines of the warranty.. it says.. does not cover normal wear and tear.....

 

Oh well..doesn't matter...only $340, I can buy 4 OBX and keep replacing them for the price of 1 CompTech .... if it does break...but who knows it would break or not right? It might lasts and the $300 would goes a looonngg way..

 

Okay, I just got off the phone with OBX and they said the one with the badge would go in the FRONT (make sense)...so I told him some genius told me it must go from rear...so he said the two pieces are idential and can go either way...Hope that helps.

 

Oh really...they are interchangable....they must have one upped CT on that design...cuz thats not how it works on the CT ones.

 

guys, hello....look at your obx headers, the 2 header banks are DIFFERENT!! how could they possibly be interchangeable?? whoever at OBX said they are interchangable is a complete moron, seriouly, its not rocket science here.....the one with the OBX plate goes on the rear.

 

OK trust me on this I installed mine last week and I too thought Badge=Front untill I installed rear first then installed front and notice that it dead ended right into the cross beam on the frame and had to remove both and swap them ( and extra 1.5 hours of work)maybe on the accord the badge fits the front but on ours....

The badge goes in the back

 

he he... what he said, I was warnning guys here about this and no one is listening!

here you and extra hour of labor just because u could did not figure the front and the rear header... screw the badge look how the headers look like and should fit!

 

You guys prob right...I haven't put it in yet so I don't know...I'll put the one with the badge in the back...The header was mummified so can't see crap anyways...thx.
