Re: Did the OBX headers fit or what???
 
Why did it look as if the D/S header hung lower than the P/S in one of the previous posts? I am assuming these are 2" primaries?

How hard are the headers to install? Are all the bolts accessible and what type of bolts are those that you used?

thanks

I just bought a set of OBX's and I plan to have them Jet Hot coated.

I installed a set of OBX, with WAZOO help, on a 94. I love them!
I had a chance to compare OBX to SW side by side. All tube bends are pretty much identical. Only difference is OBX collectors are about 10" forward and OBX comes w/ glasspacks that looks like metallic cats. These glass packs can be replaced w/ metallic cats if needed w/ minor mod. Cats should work better since being closer to exhaust ports should heat up better.
Quality is as good as any other headers I have seen.

Did the dip stick tube need relocated for OBX?

I assumed that it would since we used a relocation piece when we did the last install which was SW.
Yes - I used a relocation bracket and all went smoothly. Also used Stage 8 bolts.
By the way -do yourself a favor and get a set of gaskets from Jerry's. OBX gaskets are 8 rectangular individual pieces - one per port. Got to be a real PITA to use.

Thanks for the tips. Pete will be doing the install, so I bet he already has a parts list for me to buy.

Cool! I am sure Pete is well prepared.
I am so impressed w/ OBX header quality I just might try out their stainless steel exhaust too.

I saw their exhaust. Good price. Just don't know how restrictive it is??????? Looks nice.

Hey Kevin, why would you look for a used set...they sure arent going to be any cheaper than these. The way I see it, a company that makes a quality product at an affordable price is a win win for all. why not support them?

Secondchance, thanks for the tips and report.. These are definitely on the buy list as soon as I get the top end finished.
