i have an obx header on my civic, i dont have any leaks, the welds were ok,not the best,but what do you expect for 109 shipped?

the only issue is the downpipe bends up towards the oilpan, which means, either you have to modd a pipe from the header to the cat or have whole new piping made (which i did,becasue i was getting a new muffler put on anyways)

I've seen pacesetters on ebay for about $130... From what I have heard OBX has been cleaning up their act so I would say give them a shot. If they crack or leak then let us know about it.

Get the OBX, and reweld where the header connects to the header flange. The welds are on the inside of the header, instead of the outside as they should be.

Did this with mine, then ported the inside, worked great

Kamikaze? are you boosted with the JRSC? You are talking about the header with the short primaries right?

I would get the megan racing header over the OBX if your low on cash. The megan's don't look that bad. Just do a search and you will find out.

i got it off ebay almost a year ago, brand new in the box, and to this day not a single leak

also obx and ssautochrome is the exact same company so when looking on ebay look for ssautochrome not obx

Megan racing looks like it has better welds then the OBX one. Hey man, if you have access to a welder, I would definitely get the outsides rewelded (a machine shop can do that for you)

Bump for j00 canadaian!
