OBX Headers and Y-Pipe//

Just wondering what your opinions are on these things, they sell for cheap but are the headers even worth replacing with OBX headers/?? thanks
ALSO, the price is 325 or so for the headers and y-pipe, thanks

They're crap, you have to chop up your front motor mount

man, i wish someone would come out with a header that fits up like the cattman but doesnt cost 800 bucks.....

what were the exact gains over y pipe with the headers? is it actually worth the extra 700+ for it?

Peak hp gain with the headers is around 22hp, the peak with a y-pipe would typically be about 14hp. That's 50-60% more power with the headers.

Those are Cattman numbers btw. dont know jack about OBX except u gotta chop ur mounts so imo they are crap.
