In the market for headers here; recommendations? - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

Schrade · 01-15-2014

So after picking up some fancy hardware from Jeff there, I need some headers with 3" outlets.

OBX pipes like his would work, and I'm wondering what other makes would fit in similar fashion here.

I have no problem with used pipes, if anyone is upgrading FROM pipes that would fit into the PE pipes I just got from Jeff there...

Anyone?

I have SW headers with coating put on in 08 still look new with do discoloration about 30K miles on them. Only marks are on the collectors from taking the cats on and off. definitely worth the $

Very happy with my ceramic coated OBX. Been on since early last season.

Sorry, did not mean they were FS just wanted to comment on the quality and how well they have held up over the years of SW headers per you comment on "recommendation's".

The biggest design related choice you have to make is if you want the shorty style that have more room for catalyst installation or the classic longtube design which will make more mid-range torque.

btw, I managed to install very functional units on my logtubes, they are just more aft and just fit within the confines of the oem heat shields (barely).

I found my OBX HAB055; something that Jeff [Shrek] said when I picked up the 3'' PE pipes from him, was leading me to believe that they were dis-continued.

Both places are eBay sellers however. Anyone dealt with MOTORSPORTAUCTIONS, or Racing Parts Depot???

Anyone know of other OBX sellers?
