OBX header installed.

[itzsteven]

I took me 6 hours to take the all parts and put the new parts in. I was supprised with the fitment. The fitment was very good. I didn't expect the fitment will be 100% right but I put them together without any problem. So far, the header made my exhaust sounds deeper, I didn't see much power gain ( didn't expect that much anyway) My setup is Injen shortram + UDF extension + Greddy evo 2 catback. The CEL will properly show up soon. I will put the fouler in if it's happened.

I don't know if I was lucky or the OBX fitment quality is good, but with this header I will have to give it a

I will post pic if anyone want to see how the fitment is.

great to hear

but it took you 6 hours to install the header?? what happened?

[toyotaholic]

my guess is the bolts on the headers

cool! im about to pick up mines in about a week or so- how far does the downpipe reach out to? -

mine installed took maybe 4 hours to take averything off and put on it all plus i got a obx resonator to go with it performance definetly got improved!
2.5 " front to back and magnaflow strait through flow muffler.
im a lil sketchy on adding pics so heres my cardomain it has all the pics

It looks really nice, but unfortunately horsepower & torque gains are very minimal

It took me 6 hours because I had trouble take the old one off. The bolts were rusted, and I had to run to the store few times to get better gasket and bolts.
OBX header doesn't come with cat, so it reaches to the end where the cat was.

use an air ratchet instead of the impact gun because the impact gun is more likely to strip or ruin the bolts
but mine definatly has a performance difference.
might not be huge but my exaust will never need replacing and runs better.

I am thinking of buying the OBX headers and front pipe - I have read a bit on this forum about the 'Y' pipe being a significant restriction... in the exhaust. The OBX one ( http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/OBX-E...Q5fAccessories) seems to do this much better. I have read the comments above - but the seem to say different things - I want a performance improvement (not interested in sound). Is this a worthwhile change?

Looks good! I'm considering this as of this moment, but maybe after I get my rims I'll get one too.

YES.
