OBX Headers instaled.

ACKY91 · 06-27-08, 01:38 AM

Hey, i have some pictures of OBX headers, "Y" pipe.

Video of OBX Exhaust system + Original Muffler. Im going to buy the new muffler, Looking for Stromung.

Did you have to put new studs in your heads at all?
looks like a pretty clean install otherwise...

What did the insides of the headers look like. I mean where the primaries attach to the head flange and such...

Looks nice

Dude!! That looks pretty clean. Props on the installation job and pictures.

In my many discussions with Stromung regarding the piping, by the look of the pictures, the Y pipe merge is pretty good. Ideally the merge should be gradual to maximize flow and avoid pressure collision. Anyhow, not bad.

Thanks for sharing! As far as Stromung muffler, they're all OUT! It could be awhile before they think about doing some... if eva. May have to catch them after busy season. Still interested?

Did you have fun installing 'em?

How's the clearance betwen the y-pipe and passenger side frame rail?

Also, the y-pipe would not match up to the flanges and required me to heat and bent the pipes and put a small dent in the y-pipe to clear the passenger side frame rail! What a crock!

nice job, how much did u get them for and where

legend coupe · 06-27-08, 06:20 AM

ebay... i had mines for like a year now and still didn't install..

could you feel a difference or is it all in your head?

-=DBS=- · 06-27-08, 08:42 AM

great job! nice and clean install.

How long did it take you? Any issues you run into while installing? Reason i'm asking is I have the obx headers as well and need to install them so i'm just curious as to what problems i may run into.

looks like you've got an oil leak.

DandDEE · 06-27-08, 01:10 PM

yea i tried puttin those on myself and wasn't succesful no joke man its tighter down there then a virgin... so i put the y pipe back on and the bolts i took off the headers and said f it i got a friend chargin me 350 to put it on took my about 3hrs to try so doing it your self without pullin the engine out alittle is really tough but in my case i didn't have enough materials to actually help me put em on.

DandDEE · 06-27-08, 01:12 PM

but you did good man i wish i had your help man good work and the stock muffler doesn't sound that bad

MagicMikey · 06-28-08, 09:47 PM

Wow, nice install! looks good, did you have to the engine out at all to install them?

dgandul · 06-29-08, 03:50 AM

that made that thing loud.... hi-flow cat FTW... quiets it down, reduces emmissions and smells a lot better at idle too. i dont think y pipe has issues with sedans.. mines fits in just fine without having to bend anything. ran into any probs with the relocated o2 sensor placement??
