Does anybody have any experience with the OBX header? This is for a 2056. I need to redo the exhaust and while I would love a Tangerine setup its just not in the budget at the moment.

@Marty: just for interest sake: what is the outside diameter of the header pipes and wall thickness?
Thanks, Walter |

@Marty: just for interest sake: what is the outside diameter of the header pipes and wall thickness? Thanks, Walter Walter, we build these with U.S.A. cold roll mandrel bent steel tube with a .060 wall thickness, and a tube size of 1.5" od The mating stub (direct) coming out of the T4 cylinder port is formed from .125 c/r steel. These are built on jigs, and then assembled on to a T4 engine before coating/ shipping. Any deviations caused by thermal stresses of welding can be caught at this point and corrected if needed. Headers are fully warranteed (racing included) for 1 year. Auto Atlanta has developed these on their race car, and George has good success on engines up thru 2.2 L with his design. It's no secret: a coated set of mild steel headers will outlive the CCC low grade (but very shiny) obx stainless headers . Watch A/A 's site for a huge T4 header sale , at "Knock off prices" but you get the REAL DEAL made in the USA goods (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Marty |
