I want some Head-ers

[wrxman60]

So I came across a SB Lightning today on the Turnpike in my car and it sounded incredible. I asked him his exhaust setup and he said he had LT's catted mids and a silver bullet. So after hearing it, I am hooked. I have read some things about the OBX systems.

Would you say that the OBX system is better than the Pacesetter? I mean it is stainless steel after all.

I found them on ebay, by the looks of this picture, wont this system bolt right up to my Bassani SS catback?

It certainly is cheap enough...

Also do I need O2 extenders?

 

[JoePac]

Extenders yes...Better then Pacestter...Yes!!! If you like the sound get them as far as hp they are all about the same. I would get ceramic headers are a must. In the long run ceramic will last longer,look better and stay cooler.

 

[wrxman60]

Does the ebay site offer an option to get them coated? I didn't see anything

 

[bskin38]

i dont really see a need for ceramic coated as long as they're stainless.
these headers should last a long time before they become leaky
i bought that set of OBXes, im just waiting to put them on.

Well, ceramic stays cooler and disapates the heat better=more hp's. After time the ss becomes very hot and change from stainless to burnt...very burnt. I took my ceramic headers off during a rebuild and I swear them things looked exactly the same as when I put them on. LMAO

 

[wrxman60]

about how much does it cost to get them coated?

 

[Zak Attack]

You can do it yourself, or any powdercoater could do it.

 

[wrxman60]

Ok cool, are there any other headers that have a similar quality as an OBX system? I am seeing that Kooks and Dynatech are the upper quality/price level

 

[Zak Attack]

Yea they are pretty damn expensive. I thought Cannon was making exhaust, JLP carries the COMP R exhaust, which is pretty damn expensive.

 

[OldTimer]

Bassani are available in ceramic coated versions. I wish mine were coated.

[N20JUNKY]

If you don't mind me asking, how much do you want for the shorties?

 

[N20JUNKY]

ill take $400 + the ride just to get them out of here they go for over $700 new, if anyone is interested let me know

 

[wrxman60]

With the OBX LT setup, do they come with highflow cats? Or is it straight through catless?

 

[mcarbine]

they are catless. the things you see in the pics that bolt to the collectors are resonators

 

[tribalightning]

i think motoblue has some longtubes out.....not sure about quality, saw them on rpm
