C'mon. This is not meant to be a flame. But the headers is just a series of pipes. There's no moving parts. What's the need for a break-in for???

yeah that's right. I got them off ebay from "dailod" (his name is danny wong) for 325 + 45$ of shipping. But that's because im in Canada. Shipping within USA should be like 25$ or so.. I strongly recommend "dailod". he was nice to deal with and i know he has another set of obx for sale

I just bought OBX headers from Dailod also and I was very pleased with the entire transaction. He shipped them out fast, emailed me the tracking #, and they arrived in perfect condition. They're being installed next week and I can't wait

are the header stud kits on this site needed? the ones that are 155.00 per set and it seems that you need to sets.

Headers are THE mod outside of getting the SC...If you are looking to really feel a difference, that is the only way to go...
I have Comptech: Cost $1150 for headers, $270 for the install and they did not need the stud bolts...All done by the dealer...

lol. a few days, u mean a few miles rite? i drove like 10 miles, i pop the hood, what i see? copper headers haha :p

but the good thing is i knew it was gonna do that so i took pic before leaving the shop so they were still stainless steel

and they make a noticeable difference at high speed/rpm

im very happy. btw install took 1½.

@cUr@-TL, you have to give everyone a better review than the cliff notes of: "they make a noticeable difference at high speed/rpm" and "im very happy." finally "btw install took 1½."
