Whats happenin people.... I've been looking around for a header and of course I am well aware of the ebay header, but I came across this OBX Performance header last night and I was just wondering if anyone has ever used this one before... it can be found at http://www.2kracing.com/Product/18422.html
It's a bit pricey compared to the ebay header but who knows, maybe it's worth it?

i'm pretty sure that if you find a picture of the OBX, its the same as the E-bay part, except for the price markup.

Yeah I was trying to find one, because that site is somewhat unreliable as far as pictures go from what I can tell. I also found this other header from 'Bosal' found here: http://www.autopartswarehouse.com/details/...33-1794006.html
which happens to not have a pic wink.gif I'm probably gonna end up ordering one from ebay but I was just trying to see other options...

Bosal is a maker of aftermarket OE style parts, not performance parts.

Just be careful...
OBX are well known manufacturer of parts, which generally means top quality.
Ebay headers may be cheaper, but may be made of cheaper material and more likely to crack under strain, pressure, heat.
I guess it's a case of you get what you pay for.

When you put after market headers on does it change the sound of your car? I was thinking about gettin headers but i still want that low pitched tuner sound and not a raspy muscle car kind of sound. will an after market header make a difference cause i've heard it does?

It makes a difference in sound. It doesnt like a muscle car at all really, I'm sure someone has a clip on here somewhere. I used to have a clip of the sound when I had my headers on but I dont think I have it anymore.
