They're both on the same level in my opinion..just get the ones that's cheaper.

Both suck, stick with stock. Megan sounds like trash and OBX just gives you the idea that anything can break at anytime.

of course it hangs low,you friend has a car with motor mounts that put the motor low,,and then the car itself is probably low,then the header is aftermarket and its not made for the crx with a b16 anyway..so what do you expect?

I have a Megan header and it sounds good with my custom 2.5" exhaust. It does hang low in my car but its cuz the mounts position the motor low. My header is tight underneath the oil pan.

do you gusy realize the reason the megan "hangs low" is because its made for a 1.8L deck height?

the megan has a super thick flange. its nto a bad header. but what youre not realizing is that the megan/obx/joe schmoe header are all made in the same building in taiwan.

an oem b16 manifold is not that bad for a mostly stock b16 and it doesnt look like a shitty *** rusted ebay header if you keep the stock heatsheild on it, AND the ground clearance is better.

but your question is like asking "which smells worse, pig **** or horse ****?" the answer is "who cares they both stink"

Do you know what your talking about at all. Im running a megan on a built b18, works great, was built great, and looks a hell of a lot better than those good ol' dc headers did on it.

I have the megan header in my civic si with lsvtec and it hangs low but all 4-1 jdm style headers do. And the welds look good. The metal wasnt burnt or scolded from the welds. The obx headers ive seen have burns and cracked welds, same with XSpower. Man those reallllllllly suck. Ive seen 2 XSpower headers and they are just horrible! Dont ever think about buying those ebay pieces of ****. Many people that get megan dont bitch too much. Most that do didnt realize how low the 4-1 hang. My vote is for megan. They are becoming a very nice company with nice products.

surprisingly, i used an OBX header on my old supercharged single cam.


quality and fitment was really good in my opinion. the design worked great for the SC'd application..... short primaries into one collector and out a large down tube.

I have a megan racing header on my ZC.

Fitment was absolutely flawless, bolted right up to the cat. Wels looked real nice, quality was excellent. Mock it if you want, but it is a great little bump over a stock header. I'd much rather have it than a DC header.

OBX has always been a shady company. Megan hasn't had time to be shady yet, lol.
