I know a few were asking about a video with OBX headers. Here are mine with Borla Atak CB. Only brought it up to 4K.....didn't want to piss off the neighbors.

I just went to the track this weekend. They made me go back to tech to have my car inspected after my second run. They thought my car was too loud and had no mufflers and/or cut outs. Guy looked under my car, then went on the radio, "he has mufflers and no cut outs....". Response, "really? Well, let him run...."

Don't steal the design of a product I sell, make inferior copies, and then expect me to sit on my hands while people pimp it as the greatest thing since sliced bread. Bottom line is, these are the fake Rolex of the header world. Maybe they fit, and maybe they tell time...maybe whoever bough them thinks they are a baller gaming the system and saving money. Does not mean it's right.
Ok, ill tell you what, tonight im going to start a thread titled "$10,000 watch vs $500 watch, what are you really paying for?" Just a name? Maybe.
Oh the suspense is killing me...see you there!

MacBook Pro, owww god no you didn't. It has inferior plastic And it looks like all the other laptops out there. They must have stole the design from Dell..


700 bucks for headders with high flow cats.. DAM, and for that price, DAM that means if something goes wrong with them you can buy a brand new set and still not have spent as much money.



Are we really sure that KooK's did not steal the design from OBX??? Which set actuall came out first ..

Come on Dude, leave Matt alone.. I see that the inferior steel that they used in the Nissan GTR engine seams to beat the hell out of a ton of american stuff If he is happy, I am happy for him. period.. Now I need a set of headders next month, So do me a favor, sell me a set of Kooks with high flow cat for 700, like Matt just paid.. And I will have the top of the line Nike headders for my car... Or why dont you go around, since it bothers you so much, and buy back everyone's obx and give them Kooks. This would be the right thing to do. That way we can all have American Headders, mad in america... Dam dude get real. the under ware you have on from WALLY WORLD are made in china. The have inferior cotton...

Matt, I am not so sure we are actuall paying out ragious prices for headders like kooks, becouse of kook's.. It might be some people cant live with out 3 pool's in the back yard and 6 cars, all with blowers, and a 10 bedroom house.......

So lets see, I will buy a set of Kooks headders from any vender on here the 16th of next month for 700 bucks... I want high flow cats to..

I am sick of people bashing otheres on here and it needs to stop...

Every OBX tread i have read people take bashings about.. seams to be the same vendor's too...


I just dont think they relize, that if we had 1500, to blow on some BLA. BLA BLA.. brand headders we would. how ever not all of us, make that kinda of money. I want the best stuff for my car, I just cant afford it. So they need to leave us alone..

We live in a global market and while your argument is noble its also not going to change that fact.
You claim OBX stole from Kooks, why doesn't kooks sue them? Prove it in a court of law, not on here. Vanilla ice stole from queen, but I bet you still listen to ice ice baby at a party....I do...lol.

Again, this could be debated till the end of time. Its not going to change anything, the point of this thread was so I could let other members know I was happy with purchase. People are going to buy what they feel best suits them. That's the whole purpose of a free market.

you can't sue a chinese company in any court of law, they don't care and their government won't enforce any international law either

Good to know. OBX is in California, which regardless of what some red states might think is still a part of the U.S. Haha.
