Which headers are these?

I looked in the header thread in the all motor forum for nycmaximas. Great thread, great info. But I want to know, who makes these headers off of ebay just so I know what Im getting. I was looking at OBX's, but I think short runners are going to be better for me right now, which, they dont have.

Thanks

Those are shorty headers. Not much of a power gain compared to stock but they do look ALOT better

They bolt up to the stock Y-pipe

According to the listing, you'll get 31-36 hp.

Matty, thanks for the info, but I guess I didnt make myself clear enough, my bad. I was looking for brand(or similar brand). From what I see, these are somewhat like the Stone Mountain Racing brand. I think I am going to go OBX, though, long, and decent, but not the cost of cattman. Ill just get the section after the flex replaced with 2.5".

They look identical to the stone mountain racing headers, which are shorties... only those come with a y-pipe. I picked up a set off an org member for a good price, and wasn't too impressed with the quality. I thought you said you were going with shorties? OBX aren't shorty headers.

Please dont buy those.
I have the SS autochromes & the knock offs.(from your link)
I had issues with the y pipe touching the oil pan with both companies.
With the ssautochromes I stuck a brake pad between the ypipe & the oil pan,then tightened the y pipe to the headers.
Worked out fine. Butt with the knockoffs I had to elongate the y pipe to header holes.
I also had to cut a header to y pipe stud, realign & weld it back on.
The y pipe flanges were welded crooked so it was still a pain to install.
Good thing the engine is on a stand & not in the car.
Poor quality control yada yada.
As for the headers they are 2.25" BUTT the knockoff companies y pipe is 2" .
The knockoff ypipe looks better than stock and thats it.
I belive obx has had fitment problems aswell.
Catman ftw but expensive but then again "you get what you payed for"

Sorry if I am not clear.lol
Thes picks may help with your decision.

I did, however I changed my mind...I guess I didnt make myself clear...haha. I am going 00vi, and from what Ivve read, adds more top end power. I also read that the shorties add more to the low end, unlike long ones(tops end). However, I was suggested to just get long runners anyway, so OBX it is. Thanks for the info everyone!

Ksprots, 00vi, Headers and y all in 2 months...let the modding begin!
