From what I understand, tests haven't been too successful on improving performance from the factory ones. Toyota did a good job with those headers. Check this link.

that is great but i have an exhaust leak near the header and if it is not just a gasket there is no point in tearing apart and finding out that the leak is coming from the header itself. i was just wondering if anyone had used an OBX header, cuz the pics on ebay look like the person who welded it just learned how to weld yesterday

They probably did just learn how. Have you checked into the cost of the OEM header?

Some OBX products are pretty decent, but a lot of the time you are getting what you pay for. If it were me spending the money, I'd go with the DC Sports.
