Saying "OBX" and "high class" in the same sentence is sacrilege

in your sig it says stock. turbo coming, then why would you get this?

For sale is headers for the 1992-1997 Lexus SC300. Made from 304 stainless steel, the header comes with a lifetime warranty from OBX Racing Sports. Because it is stainless steel, it will not rust from the enviornments. Perfect upgrade for those wanting more power out of the 6 cylinder engine. With the slightly larger runners over the stock design, low to mid end torque and hp can be expected. System also utilizes a small flex joint to allow for proper expansion as well as being able to absorb engine vibration so that welds to not prematurely break. Please view the pictures below as this is exactly what will be shipping.


The grammar errors alone warrant running for the hills!!!!!

i'd rather have stock headers.

Upon further inspection, why is it that it only has 1 "small flex joint"? I suppose the other threes cylinders are not able to absorb engine vibration which points to its "well engineered" product. (by well engineered I of course mean crap.)

I'm surprised theres no love on these at all?
I definately understand the quality concerns ..... But if its functional at all, a $300 bolt on that loses that SC300 Y-precat BS alone!= from me........Actually it looks like it will eliminate both cats??
Its at least worth looking into if you ask me.....

Outback Products .....aka ..."OBX" sells a lot of very nice products. I used to be a distributor when I had my shop a few years back. I personally used there underdrive pulley and cam gears in our shop race car and they worked great. Sold a lot of there products with no complaints from customers.

i was being sarcastic in the first sentence. ive almost finished my turbo kit but i was just wondering if anyone was running these.

many years ago, i had a set of mild steel headers on my accord, worked great until i sold it 60,000 miles later

I don't think we're talking about the same OBX...

There's a guy with a turbo Integra here (well, he moved to California) that was up in the 700-800 whp range, he went through two Quaife differentials before buying an OBX one and giving it a nice once-over, hasn't had any problems since.

You can pick up XERD (now MVP) headers for $350 used usually, they claim a 17whp gain over stock which is definitely a kick in the pants. Might as well give these a shot and see how they work for you? Then sell them when it becomes turbo time.

Gunnar

The MVP/XERD one doesn't even have a flex section.

habitat

Understandable, I by no means see it as a requirement. But I figured if you're gunna put on it, why not put two?

Gunnar

Understandable.

Either way I think $300 for that header and midpipe (especially when someone like myself already has a catback) is a pretty good deal when the MVP one is $500 without the midpipe.
