Kansei said:that sounds like a nice NA setup to me.. switch that magnaflow to a racing beat, the obx to a ractive, and the AEM sri to an ebay CAI and that's pretty much how I decided to turbo. well and I did the VTCS removal and stuff but that isn't a biggie.
It'll sound nice (a little loud for me on the highway but yeah), pull nice and hard, and yield a nice low fuel consumption if you keep the speeds down on the highway
I honestly really miss being naturally aspirated. yeah my car is a lot faster now, but it's quieter, and definitely feels less raw. I miss my header, I miss my MP3 ecu, and most of all I really miss that smooth powerband. bah
so alls I need is a ractive header, mp3 ecu and voila? hmmmm.... (sssh)

the ractive and obx are pretty much the same. On the ractive, the 4 pipes come together underneath the car right before the end of the header. On the OBX, they come together a lot sooner. They are both 4-1.
the other difference is that the OBX has two places for oxygen sensors, but since there's no cat between the two sensors you'll need a couple spark plug nonfoulers and a half inch drill bit to prevent getting a check engine light. On the ractive, there's just the first oxygen sensor hole. I ran without the 2nd sensor until I got my MAM midpipe which had a sensor hole after the cat.. works like magic
