OBX headers for the V6 - Page 2 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

GreenWithEnvy · 03-01-2011, 11:40 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.

Anyone know the gains you get with the OBX?

OOLIE · 03-02-2011, 08:36 PM

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

OOLIE · 03-08-2011, 01:45 PM

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.

Can't wait to see it.

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, 07:57 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, 08:01 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.

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
