I came accross this http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...K%3AMEWAX%3AIT i wanted to get it but i noticed the header was on a curve to the right which connects the 4 pipes. i was planning on getting this one until i came across this error. should i get it? also heat wrap to wrap it with for more hp. heard its good.

idk about that one. ive heard simply porting the stock manifold is good enough as far as normal driving goes, id look for more of an upgrade for turbos or more extreme power etc.

i was plannig on taking it to a muffler shop so they can clean it and all. also as i accelerate hard, i can hear an escape of air somewhere in the engine. i have fixed this problem before last year for about 75 bucks and it just came up like 3 weeks ago. is there anything i can do to just stop the sound period? and also is the heat wrap on the manifold any good?

That won't fit your car. It's a header for 7th gen.

Thread jack: how would this possibly work since the 8th gen exhaust is one piece save for the muffler and the manifold? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/OBX-E...item563ab34199

personally i have heard any actual 1 peice headers, downpipe included, are garbage. the pictures look good and they have thick flanges which would prevent it from cracking, but i have heard since these are cheapo ebay headers they are made with some of the crappiest welds you can get so you will crack the welds and just leak there. you can get nicer manifolds but turbo wise you would want to replace your downpipe with better piping.

Speaking of OBX headers....Disappointed with OBX header

RoachRolla · 03-23-2010, 05:45 AM

dont you also need a flex pipe to ensure that nothing cracks?

***PhatRoyale*** · 03-23-2010, 07:43 AM

Yes, most definitely.

Bdub215 · 03-23-2010, 10:06 PM

i want just the header itself but i can find nothing. and i doubt the DC header for the 9th gen will work (grr)
