These OBX headers DO NOT fit...

The headers is not sliding on the front without drilling the holes out!
Then it looks like it is gonna hit the engine mount and the fan shroud!
I feel so bad for the guy thats putting them on!

the two top sections ARE different. Cylinders 1/2/3 in the back, the top piece has a more angled approach if memory serves me correct.

The headers are the same for both cars.

I had the same issue with my TL. Turns out we were trying to use the back one in front and vice versa. Try switching them around.

Yeah u guys where right, there where alot of modifacations that needed to be done.. The holes needed to be drilled to get on the studs.
But they did have them reversed the OBX tag is on the back header which is wierd i thought it went on the fronT!

if it's off there for a minute you're good, unless you have some serious caps for your stereo system. No caps - I'd just ground out the posi terminal against the body and hook it back up. The slow approach...a minute is plenty of time.

These OBX headers are pretty dam GOOD!

I dunno why all the complaints about the OBX headers..
Other then having to drill some holes open to fit the studs on the engine and other then them revesing the headers and giving me a scare they are GREAT..
The exhoust sounds meaner and the car pulls HARD now..
This is deff what this car was missing other then a 1.5 drop and thicker RSB the car is like a whole new car now.
Has 170K and drives handles and drives better the when i picked the car up in may of 2000 with 170 miles!
