x2....obx is ****. I remember when i sold some of their headers a few years back, man, the quality was "poor". The flanges had big gaps and were missaligned. I don't think they make any high quality products at all.

Actually the OBX v3 header is a really nice piece. Its common for everybody to bash OBX, heck I had one of their diffs kill my whole tranny but the header is nicely done. AND its makes more power than the JR!!! So why would you pay 120 more for something that makes less power.

Becaue when you open the hood, people ask what kind of header that is, you can say J's Racing and they go O rly!?1.

Just playing, OBX actually makes ok products for the price you are paying. However J's Racing makes very high quality products that you know will last for a good while.

See i have been hearing both opinions that the jrrh is better quality(agreed), and that the obx is good for the money(not sure).

jackon racing is another name for moss motors ( big crappy company)
oscar jackson racing (orginal namesake of jackson racing just sold out a long time ago) is much better now.

best bang for the buck is the DCRH. At lowest that is the cheapest I would go. I'd take the J's over the OBX any day.
