I know I can search for the answer, but do you have the mod the header at all for install or does it bolt right up?

Pe@ce
it bolts up without any modification. correct me if i am wrong, alex, but i bet those springloaded bolts on the midpipe were the hardest part of the job.

glad to hear you like the header! whats your driving impressions of it?
 
Yeah the header bolts right on, we had a little scare with some real bad smoking on initial startup, but it turned out ok. The only bad part of the whole installation was a small gasket that you have to take off of the original exhaust manifold, its just poorly desinged, its made of metal wire and gets stuck on the old manifold. Overall installation is a breeze, I would recommend it to anyone, made auzziemp3s car sound wayyyyyy nicer.

Freaking insanely awesome night alex
 
excellent. you should definetely feel some gains up top in the powerband. on an automatic car we installed it on, it made the car shift nigh-seamlessly bewteen gears

yeah the hardes part yep, but i also the gasket between end of the header and the beging of the exhaust, like the little pipe, that small thing it was a b**** to get it off it was some wire mesh deal but i got it off and put it on, other than that it was a sucessfull installation! love it!

Yo, Ken. I know this has been beaten to death, but have you guys or anyone on this forum gotten a car dynoed after the OBX header/DP was installed?

That thing is called a donut gasket. All you have to do is buy a donut gasket at a exhuast shop for around $20. If you have the extra $20 it is worth getting one instead of using the old stock one. Plus The obx header comes with 2 o2 sensors bungs but you DO NOT WANT to use the 2nd o2 senor bung. You will get a check engine light. You will not be able to pass emissions with it on. You can extend the 2nd 02 sensor wire and get a bung welded behind your main cat then put your 2nd o2 sensor in the new bung and plug the 2nd bung on your header. It will cost around $20-30 to get the bung welded at exhuast shop. This will make CEL go away and not come back. The CEL code is pre cat warm up error or somethinganother because your precat is no longer there because of header. good luck. hope this helps.
