ERZ, What is the expected gain with the OBX? Is there a compareable gain vs BBK or ARH?

I think the OBX are replica of BBK headers because they very similar.

They are 400 shipped

bmorecam 03-01-2011 06:19 PM

with high flow cats?

KMPrenger 03-01-2011 06:24 PM

Of course I can't say forsure, but by just comparing side by side pictures, the BBKs don't really look like the OBX. The flange area where the cats are connected is different.

ERZperformance 03-01-2011 06:28 PM

Those are test pipe only.

They are a knock off of pace setter exhaust parts. Except made in staneless.

Im not surprised at all that there's a company making knock offs.

GreenWithEnvy 03-01-2011 10:40 PM

I had an OBX turbo stainless manifold on my old car. Never had a problem at all with it. I was running 12lbs of boost through it too. Knock off or not their products are good.

TJ91 03-02-2011 03:05 AM

Anyone know the gains you get with the OBX?

OOLIE 03-02-2011 07:36 PM

Yeah I would be very interested to see a dyno on those.

cntryman77 03-08-2011 11:21 AM

high quality video & pics coming this evening...finally have some nice weather to do it

OOLIE 03-08-2011 12:45 PM

:w00t: look forward to it. Still love to see a dyno if anyone has found it just for reference as well.

Can't wait to see them also. I think OBX is a very good cheapest alternative way for header. Its 1 3/4 in size too but I wonder if that would kill low tq. alot of v8 guys have them and they are getting gains as same as the expensive ones so I think it would be the same for v6.

ERZperformance 03-08-2011 05:46 PM

Can't wait to see it.

Dyk-NO 03-08-2011 06:15 PM

don't care if it's a knock off LOL like does it matter? if it's the right material and specs for the job then it's all good.

Op btw are these LTs?

ERZperformance 03-08-2011 06:57 PM

I just check the OBX header is made with full t-304 stainless steel even the flange is completely stainless.

Yes, they are actually a higher quality part than what they copy. A high quality knock off.

KMPrenger 03-08-2011 07:01 PM

What are they a knock off of exactly? These are 1 3/4 right? The BBKs are 1 5/8.

EDIT: Sorry, saw the above post about them being pace setter knock offs.

From what I've read on various forums they are a knock off of pacesetter exhaust systems V6 long tubes. Which aren't made from 304 stainless steel.

bmorecam 03-08-2011 07:16 PM

if I was making a knock off I dont think I would make one from a 200 dollar header.. some people say bbk, ARH, and now pacesetter. The point is, they are stainless steel, cheap and proven on dyno to gain about the same as other headers. V8 guys already dyno'ed and jannety racing agreed that its putting out same gain as what they are seeing from long tube's

it was not directed to you:D I dont really care if something's a knock off as long as the material is the same and the gain is plenty and in this case I think obx is not bad at all considering that is all SS and dyno proven, and cant complain of the price.

cntryman77 03-08-2011 09:00 PM

yes these are LTs...I also have MRT2 axle backs...& here you go......

do you have a manual or auto? the LT def made your mrt v2 louder. Sound good!

OOLIE 03-08-2011 10:22 PM

That sounds GREAT! Hope to see A Dyno but I am sure you can feel the difference anyway. That sounds like a manual

KMPrenger 03-08-2011 10:51 PM

Gotta love that rumble!

TJ91 03-09-2011 12:00 AM

wow that sounds amazing, and theres no RASP! :D
I cant believe how good that sounds, I thought the LTs would have made it really raspy, but it sounds great!
I wonder how those would sound with my SOLOs!

cntryman77 03-09-2011 04:25 AM

it's a manual...thanks everyone, I love the sound too...although at 5:30 in the morning leaving for work my neighbors in my apt building might not...lol

rtcat600man 03-09-2011 05:55 AM

WOW........those sound GREAT.

IROCanSS 03-09-2011 06:57 AM

Dude... 2 thumbs up! Can't wait to hear it in person!

SilverIceman 03-09-2011 07:47 AM

Wow!,

You sure that's a V6?

Awesome sound!

bossbunny 03-09-2011 07:50 AM
