OBX Headers Installed

Well it took about 5 hours, but we finally finshed up around 5 p.m
At first we ran into some problems getting the down pipe to line up to the front and rear pieces. After a little moving around, we got them to fit (and they are snug). I almost thought we were going to have to give up and get OBX to send me a new downpipe, but we got it. I did not experience the problem with the O2 sensor, like others had. Mine fit just perfectly and with good tranny clearance. After installed, we turned the car on and heard a bit of a leak coming from the rear header. We re-tightened everything, and no more leak. We then proceded to take the car out for a test run, and damn, could I tell a difference. When we returned, we tightened agin. Overall I am happy with the headers, hopefully they will not cause me any problems.

Dealer had a small fitment problem with my OBX as well, but they said they were able to manage it and fit everything snugly. Happy w/ mine as well... but the true test will be in a year or two. Good luck!

Any MOOOOO at 2300+rpm?

Since I am not convinced of how long I am going to keep the car (2 years more?) I am concerned about selling it with all CT parts and OBX mooo-ing header.

I don't understand why people say mooo. I don;t hear any moo, I hear a little more noise in the 2800-3400 range deeper sounding. That may be the "mooing " some hear.
