The OBX Headers "buzz" some..is there a cure?
Not really a big deal but my OBX headers resonate at certain RPM's. Anyone know a way to eliminate this with a bracket or something? There is a definate vibration going on there. Do the Comptechs do this too? Thanks...

all headers do that on a CL-S...comptech or OBX...personally, i love it, it makes the car sound more powerful!!! there is no known way to eliminate it, probably impossible without putting the stock shit back on!!

Mine is getting less noticable and it seems to shift to 2400-2600 rpm with sub 32 degrees..

Add some baffle on your A-pipe if you like, but that's going to reduce some hp top-end... I'd say crank the radio up!

Try to eveluate where the resonance is coming from. Is there any chance that it is coming from the catalytic converter?? Maybe to much air is trying to go through it and its not letting it.

My car does the same thing. I have the OBX headers. It is always around 2800 RPMs. I can live with it, but would like to get rid of it.
