don't get OBX. i got a ceramic coated set, and the two outer most holes are in the wrong spot. nothing i could do would get them to line up. of course it's been too long since i bought them to return them, so here's to you not making the same mistake.

lol, well first of all, just to clarify, you can use either a 4-2-1 or 4-1.

4-2-1 will usually yield better midrage power while 4-1 headers are usually only better in the really high rev range. A lotta people with daily drivers like to go with the 4-2-1.

i like the look of the Greddy header, its more expensive because it's CARB approved. I've heard good things about it also.

i've never heard of anyone else having a problem with them

my megan racing header is great.


if you're gonna get DC Sports, you might as well get megan racing... same thing, 1/2 the price, still reliable (in most cases...)
