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.

^^ +1 The header does not even go over the T4 headstuds! LOL!
The tubing is very nice, as are the welds, but the ears for mounting it are in the wrong position in more then one way. The 4-1 piece is also not really flow friendly. It is pretty pathetic as an exhaust system as such indeed. Still that was almost to be expected and for a bunch of nice stainless tubing in the size I wanted and in sort-off the position bend I was looking for, it'll do just fine :-) |
