I think you might be referring to OBX headers possibly?

I don't know of anyone using them but they look decent enough.
Personally, even though they're more costly I would still stick with the more well known/already well reputed header outfits such as Kooks (or even ARH/LG).

There was a big OBX group buy a little while back and everyone seemed pleased with them.

Also take a look at the new Texas Speed longtubes.

I have the OBX headers and LOVE them! I also had mine ceramic coated before install. As you can see in my sig the car does put down the numbers and is comparable to anyone else with the same mods. I've been using these for 5 months on the street and track with no issues at all.

Carlos, basically all you need to do is get the car up off the ground far enough that you can unbolt the stock exhaust pipes. Once you have the stock pipes off you can remove the catalytic converters, be careful they are heavier than you might anticipate. After that there should be plenty of room to install your new headers.

It only took me about 4 hours to remove the old hardware and install the new headers, but I've done this on several vehicles so, I'd recommend you set aside a weekend and take your time.


Good Luck
