Check this thread out to see if Cattman has any left or to get in on the next group deal. People have said these are supposed to be some of the best around for our cars.

Op, all joking aside, they just listed a batch of obx v2 headers on ebay. These are the best you will find for the price. I have been looking for months now, and finally bought a set. Thankyou perkman!!!

O MY EFFIN GOODNESS THEY SHOULD START BANNING PEOPLE FOR THIS OR MAKE THEM READ A LIST OF RULES BEFORE THEY ARE ABLE TO POST THREADS!!!!!

Ill break it down for you Best quality goes to cattman but they are gonna cost about 850 or something like that.

Best bang for the buck goes to the obx V2's 380 shipped

Most power goes to hotshot headers BUT you arent gonna find them. They are no longer in business and people who have them arent selling them ......... 600 new 600 used

ssautochrome and the stillen are the worst!!!!! Stillen headers cost the most and make the LEAST amount of power out of all the headers. 900 plus for stillen and 199 for ssautochrome

OBX, Cattman make about the same power.HOTSHOT has a 2 or 3 horsepower edge over these 2 competitors but that can be fixed with a nice tune. GOOD LUCK tryna find hotshots

God help me, but this is funny.

If only I'd seen this thread when Sooner did, and got all pissy about newbs not doing their own simple research, (like in the good old days) there would be balance in the Force.

^^^ this guy..... I say the older folks just storm danny to make a sticky in here about any new header thread started will result in a locked thread and a week ban... I can understand if an old thread is brought up cause ur question wasn't answered (which is by now impossible) but no new threads like this.... jeesh

^^^ that guy.

Threads like this ping-pong for less than a day, then drop off into the ether. Sometimes, in the midst of mockery, interesting discussion emerges, and often off-topic, too.

IDK, I think I'm indifferent to mod clean up.

I guess I'm a little bit more critical and I wasn't always like this... I was one of the guys soonerfan pretend to be, but I don't mind answering suttn for the newbs a second or maybe even a third time, but when you click the 5th gen section and on the first page there's probebly 3 header threads on it already then its like WTF... I'm just moreso like that towards header threads... its too much info on this section about that, especially to answer a silly question like that

FYI, search for OBX headers and there was a write-up on the installation with pics. Youre gonna need to "fabricate" for optimal fitment. I think you have to grind some of the cross-member down and the bracket for one of the engine mounts...those two things are the only reason I dont have them already...lol
