Anyone tried the NA OBX headers?

KNYFE · 01-15-2006, 12:42 AM

Saw a set for sale and was wondering if anyone has these or has tried these. Any comments welcome. Also, anyone know approximately what gains are acheived with headers?

a while ago i raised this question about these headers. from ebay right? i am going to get them, just my budget at the moment is tight. as i can remember, we compared them to the pacesetter ones for the NA supra. I personally like the OBX headers. they look really clean, the welds look really good and it looks like an overall good product.

Dang, I was hoping you would have gotten them by now.

Their build quality seems really nice, they are what I would go with if I had an NA, Most definitely. http://www.toyota-supra.info/forums/...hlight=headers

I got a reply from one of the sellers. The outlet is 2.5". Soo... Would it be a waste if you had 3" behind that? Curious...

Pacesetter is a 2" outlet. OBX seems to be the better alternative.

haha no, not yet. soon though, very soon. I decided to do a whole bunch of little things first. replaced all my vacuum hoses with the hose technique kit. made a custom intake, so now i dont have that ugly N/A intake piping. and I got my dvd player for the car that i have been saving for haha......

but the headers are my next thing. I am definetly getting the OBX headers. probably within the next month. Cant wait to get them!

I heard bad storys about OBX,

Bullz_EyE · 01-18-2006, 07:25 AM

I've also heard bad stories about OBX, namely their turbo manifolds. But I've seen their (Honda) headers 1st hand and they are relatively well constructed.

EDIT: Besides that, as stated previously, I think there are only 2 off-the-shelf aftermarket headers for the 7M-GE. I would pick the OBX, hands down, no questions, and get it ceramic coated too.

headers would make a whole exhaust system flow better. im guessing about...15-25 hp from a whole good exhasut system. which is a lot (~10%) for the motor only being around 200 in the first place. but the car has a 17.5-1 power/weight ratio. so every 17 lbs you take off, you gain a HP. On my monte carlo i took a full 2nd off my 1/4 mile by taking out the back seat, carpet(floor is cheap rhino liner kinda stuff from home depot now), sound insulation and AC/heat box. it wouldnt be very smart to take all this stuff out of your daily driver, abut you can do other things like fiberglass hood/fenders and stuff like that if just want it to be faster, and maybe cheaper.
