CAPS LOCK PWNS YOU!

my shorty does the same thing at low rpms, but as soon as i gas it up, it roars.

i installed mine yesterday with the help of SiR ken. it has the putter sound at low rpm, but it sounds angry when i give it gas. im very pleased with the obx header.

Any real gains? I'm about to buy one, but still a little skeptical...

 

[sabrelli]

maybe its me being aussie, but define "putter"???

 

[JOS3]

its not like, "OMG MY P5 IS SO FAST!" but it feels much smoother and it definitely pulls harder. the power difference is very noticeable.

visually and physicallly your removing the restrictive cat, and your lightening the car because the stock header is a BEAST compared to the obx, no one has numbers but i am sure of a gain. theres no question that it would HURT performance in any way eaither.

not 'putter' as in a hoopty sounding putt-putt.

I'm hoping for a smoother pull after 4,000 rpm. Also I hope the removal of the precat helps gas mileage.

the obx probably weighs 1/4 of what the stock header does. its ridiculous how heavy the stock one was.

yea you will get better gas mileage.

Also, does driving around with a CEL cause a limp mode on the ECU or will it just be an irritating light until I do something about it?

it will just be a light.

$3 and a trip to radioshack will have you set. mines on 6k miles and no return of teh CEL.

as proof of this...on my trip to wisconsin from ohio last weekend, averaged over 32 mpg. but thats with my shorty wagner, injen CAI, and RB cat-back.

but overall im impressed with the 32 mpg, especially since i was cruising at 90-95 the whole way...

obx should be even better than that.

Pro5OnSpeed has been driving about 6000 miles on his CEL (screwy)
