Default Obx makes headers for the 400?

Apparently they do...http://www.ebay.com/itm/OBX-R-Exhaust-Header-Fit-For-1997-98-99-2000-Lexus-GS400-4-0L-4-3L-/131246002295?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item1e8edf1077&vxp=mtr
I wonder how these are compared to the PPE's? Is any 400 peeps rocking these? How are they?

When I searched prior to purchasing my PPEs, somone came on and said that when they tried to install them the fitment was so bad that they ended up purchasing and installing the PPEs in the end IIRC. You might want to search around on the forums and see what you can find before buying them.

they look extremely similar to the PPE's. Anyone know how these are performance wise compared? How much HP does the PPE's give?

I looked into it before I bought my PPE, I just didn't want to deal with the hassle of fitment issues.

however my PPEs are still collecting dust in their plastic bags and I still haven't had the down time to install them.

If you want to get the Chinese knockoff of our parts beware that quality is poor as is their fitment. There is no tech support for them either.

BBB rating is an F for OBX. All their products are poor knock offs of other companies.

I like how they say that the headers fit the GS 400 and the GS430. The flange outlets are in different positions on the two cars.

I guess you flip a coin and hope they coppied the version you need.
