Ebay OBX 4-1 headers $169.99

[iluvmacs]

I found these headers on ebay. It's a 4-1 design, but has primaries about as short as the one from wagner. Obviously has a very short collector, and would eliminate the first catalytic convertor.

Any ideas, comments, gripes, or sarcastic remarks appreciated....

dayum, $165... i wonder if it's trustworthy.

 

[iluvmacs]

It's ebay, so about as trustworthy as anything else on ebay (<100%).

bastards...

Yeah, that's the one with the picture for the miata (see how it's for a rear drive setup?). That's a 4-2-1 design though.

I don't know what kind of header I want to go with. I'll probably end up going 4-2-1 because I'll never increase the rev limits of the engine. I think the head would need to be ported to gain a whole lot of power beyond 5500 RPM.

Check what material is the header made of. It might be mild chrome steel for that price. If you want a resonable header then this is the way to go.

SS 304 is what's advertised. I don't know if that would be better or mild steel with a ceramic coating. Anyone else have an opinion?

iluvmacs - it depends on what you're after. Mild steel with ceramic coating will offer better thermal protection. Most of the times when the ceramic coating is put on by the manufacturer of the header, it does not have as good coverage as sending it off to Jet-Hot or HPC. 304 will outlast the mild steel coated headers. I'd get 304 and then send it off to get coated.

I think this is because the price of stainless has since gone up.

no, I don't think so.
I think few members have emailed them asked about price and they thought ppl have more interest on items, they just ******* increased the price.
for that price, you guys are better off ractive header

Should be here tomorrow. I'll most likely install it over the weekend. Toyed with getting a Matte Black Jet Hot coating but the cost was the same as the header. $165. Jet-Hot is local for me so I don't have to worry about shipping cost. I'll then be going over to Apex Motorsports to have a MIL eliminator installed.

I'll take pics and give you my opinion on this.
