Default OBX Headers updates on changes and preorders for catted systems!


I just got off the phone with OBX and I will have available for next shipment coming in to OBX in November

what alot of you have been waiting for

97 to 00
long tube headers with passenger air tube corrections made

01 to 04
long tube headers

and NOW
WITH CATS!!

Projected pricing will be as follows

with cats
$849.99 shipped

with resonators
$649.99 shipped


You will have the option to order by year and with or with out cats. This will make the install alot easier for the
97-00 cars.

I will have 15 sets of the new catted version available. First 15 people who respond will be first in line for the new catted version. No money down and this point of the game is needed. I will list in order the first 15 people who will be sent info in regards to final payment when headers arrive into stock.

I am also asking for 20 sets of catted X Pipes to be available as well for those who have bought the OBX headers in the past and might be interested in changing out the resonators. I will post up more info on these when i get the word they will be in.

1) jeterarodyks

I assume the catted version has the converters on the headers themselves? What size and are they high flow? Do you have any pics? Will these headers bolt up to a magnaflow X pipe?
Thanks,

Sorry, I thought this was a newer post. But, if you would have any of the information I would like to know.

Given the OP's last post to this thread was over 3 months before it came back to the top, he may not even know people are asking questions. I sent a PM the other day with no response. ????

I've been waiting too. At the beginning of November I was emailed that they were coming in the next week and then in the beginning of December I was emailed that it would be the beginning of next year.

They look like a good deal but I'd like to see an installed thread which shows they fit OK. Also, what they come or don't come with, such as the O2 extender wires...

Its kind of a known thing with this brand. They originally sold for about 400 bux and have gone through about 3 or 4 design changes due to problems.

Most people that have bought them have had knuckle them in place and purchase better clamps.

Bought mine summer '08 (from the auction site) and there is miles of clearance to the a/c line. Install was painless, but my set did not come with any clamps. Purchased some band clamps locally, and I was good to go. I've followed the OBX threads pretty closely and have never heard anybody having a/c line clearance issues.
