Cisco! Yes, yes I do! (as long as you either have the patience to install them yourself, or know a mechanic who can do it for a good price) lol

so from what i am gathering king, these do fit and they are most deff worth it for the lower price over the jpp?

im still wondering tho what the dyno results will yield. these would be perfect to throw on right now since i have excellent access to the rear headers with my engine dangling

long story short, I say that they're well worth the money since they're pretty much dirt cheap. and since you have everything out, the install will be pretty easy and simple.

as for dyno results- it's definitely an improvement. but pretty much any header would be better than the stock manifolds (not that they're that bad, but...it doesn't take much to improve upon them, especially if you're boosted)

I'm pretty sure, yeah.

But if you're in hawaii, check around for local shops that are obx dealers and you may at least save a bit on saving

My friend bought the OBX setup.
It looks just like the JP header and y-pipe set up.
There's a big improvement.
The only difference that i can see that the runner on the front manifold is that JP has theirs ceramic coated, as for OBX it's just SS.

yah... somebody had to take the dive right? And with the boost that I'm pushing, the stock headers were definitely a restriction


as for bolting up...it should still bolt up with the right gasket, though the obx setup is a 2.5" y-pipe, but you just remember that you won't have a cat then (if you need one).
