Default . OBX header

Does anyone have any experience with them? I have no idea if they're built well (won't leak, etc.) or if they make good power.

I know it's not jdm, btw


Plus, the only other company that makes a header for the J30 is Comptech and it's over a grand..

my brother has a OBX header on his D15 civic..........it's been on the car for about 4 years and he hasent had any problems with it at all.........fits just fine and doesnt leak and it still looks pretty good concidering the ammount of crap the car gets driven through in the winter.

it makes good power too. i guess anything would make more power over the stock D15 manifold but the OBX header provided the small engine a nice boost of power for minimal money spent.........i think it was a good purchase for a civic engine.

i dont know how well their B series engine headers are.....there probably OK but not exactly the best.......you can give it a try.....if you dont like it sell it to some riceboy........

good luck

It's not for me, I dont' drive an Accord V6. Too rich for me It's for a friend, and I really don't want him to go ahead and spend the 500 bucks if no one could speak for it.

thanks again

I saw them on ebay the other day for like $350.

And remember it is for the V6. $500 for OBX or $1100 for comptech. and those are your only 2 options. If I had the V6 i'd sure as hell be thinking about it...

hahaha, 750 for your basic stainless steel header...sure you get a cool emblem but..


If it was for a B-series...HyTech, Toda, Type One or SMSP all the way
