Headers - Page 2 - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

-=Jeff=- · 07-09-2018

I have Watson Headers (NLA except used).. I have had them with Borla, Corsa and now LT4 (OEM) exhaust systems..

I liked Borla, but it had a slight drone, Corsa had no Drone, sounded fine on part throttle, but WOT is Screamed, which was not to my liking)

I now have the LT4 system, it is quiet and actually sometimes too quiet. I still have my Corsa if I choose to swap back

I have OBX headers and thought they were a very good deal.

I have no gap between my steering shaft and the header. I can see where it has been rubbing. I'm not overly concerned about it. I don't know if this clearance issue is unique to OBX headers, or to my specific car.

Mine would be the same way. Except they clearenced( dented) the pipe by the steering shaft to clear. So I would imagine that all obx headers prob fit that way.

Yeah, I "adjusted" mine, too, and had clearance at installation time, but I guess not enough, or things settled.

M. Haibeck recommends, sells and installs Stainless Works. They are not cheap, but my set is 12 yrs old and still look great. They dip coat the headers in ceramic so even the inside gets coated (that's what I was told).

Mine came "naked". I sent them to Jet Hot in OK. The still look new!
