Search.

Some is good, some is bad, and some of it almost everyone hates just because its popular to do so.

^^^^ Like he said, It really all depends on the actual product. I heard/know OBX LCA's aren't the best, you might wanna consider something else. But Maybe their Header is pretty good, It just really depends. I mean Mugen is a really reputable company, but the RNR rims suck *** and get stress cracks in less than a year. good luck though

I have an OBX header for my Z6, it's not bad for the price.

It just depends on the quality of the product when you get it. Some people can swear by those no name/cheap name products sold on eBay, others will absolutely despise them.

But for a little extra money, I'd recommend Megan Racing headers. They're still a fairly new company so they aren't THAT reputable, but from like 99.99% of the stuff I've read, actually nice .

On a stock D16Y8? Save your money for turbo/supercharger/nitrous/swap. Don't put bolt-on's onto it. You'll just regret it in the long run and you'll be wasting money.

I am thoroughly pleased with my megan header. Before this one I ran a $60 header from SSAC for about 9 months and had absolutely no problems with it. Some people have said that they crack but mine didn't and I was able to turn around and sell it for $20. I have bought an obx intake manifold to run on my y8/turbo. We'll see how it works out. I also plan on an obx lsd that I will rebuild.
