obx actually isn't that bad, they just steal everyone elses designs, so they can have lower prices because they don't have to do the research themselves. The quality isn't bad, jidum have you dealt with them before? or are u just making assumptions?

Ive had exhaust, which sounds more like my dads jon deere then the tracker did, and the header was just shitty quality. And last but not least my gauges were hooked up completely right they worked fine for about a month then jsut starting going haywire. So i got rid of them and baught autometter and have been straight since. So do to having 3 good things out of 4-5 im sticking with my original statement.

I had a obx ss 421 header on my gsr motor. Fit and finish was perfect. Not bad for $120.

wow. those are pretty useless mods imo. unless you're boosted, why would you need a new fuel rail?

i had an obx muffler. it worked fine until someone stole my silencer.
