OBX header

For those who remembers the infamous "OBX" header, anyone still rocking one on their TL?

Yes yes...it was from some Chinese company "SS stainless chrome" or something like that with promise of lifetime warranty blah blah blah..sold tons of them and disappeared like a fart in the wind....anyways, who still have it ? I'm still rocking with one since day one

I'm still rocking my OBX... tiny cracks at the flanges, but other than that, they're all good.

Well I would not pay $300 for them, I got them for $100.
I guess when they dipped them the excess was left in the holes to make them smaller.. He had to make some holes bigger so it would fit, But he got them on and NO resonance and car sounds NICE, not stupid ricer nice but deep troaty nice.. and I feel a little difference , I have not pused it im working till 9pm so we will have a fun ride home!

I dunno why you guys don't like these headers...
Other then having to drill some holes out to slide them on the studs and other them putting the front on back and back on front and the bols being rusted to the CC, well what i am trying to say is other then the PITA it is to install them they are well worth it.
The car PULLS like never B4, this car is complete with da headers, this is what she needed!
Everyone that does not have header on there type-S need to invest in some!
