Default Finally got headers on!!!!

Well I was getting ready to trade my v1 in on a v2 but I love mine morevin every aspect except power... So got convinced to put headers on and if I wasn't happy trade up. It's freest and spicy again I'm so impressed! I got obx and die header wrap .. Kinda like that muscle look! Install went smooth except 1 o2 sensorgotstuck in the stock manifolds .. But ill try to put up pics soon ! All jokes aside I read slot about obx headers and their quality. Checked every inch on them right next to my buds brand new kooks for his gto , welds were great quaility was equal maybe a little less but they went right in and look good too. Gotta love that muscle car look in a family sedan!

Great 1/4 mile time in your sig. I'm afraid to launch mine that hard. You should submit your timeslip to the 1/4 mile time list. You'd likely be right at the top for the mods you have.

Dude, PLEASE take a video of the sound of the headers with stock catback. There's almost nothing like that around. You'd really be adding something unique.

To my knowledge, and I've looked a TON, there's only one other video of that kind of setup.

I'll be posting some vids of the stock mufflers with OBX headers sometime in the next few weeks when I get it tuned and the bugs worked out (steering shaft clearance).

I'm actually hoping to hit 12.2's this summer I put a ls7 clutch setup cs diff mount short shifter bmr pinion brace and got it tuned so I'm guessing I can pull that . Very optimistic but it get up so much better now with the headers. For everyone ou there who is saying it's a lot of money.... It's worth it completely different car. If you have doubts u can put them on come to DE with them and I'll do the whole swap for 300 start to finish roughly 5-8 hours of work. And if you want them wrapped I'll hook it up for 100$ .. roughly 2-3 hrs of work. I normally charge 750 to put on headers on gto's and stuff but if you have a v your family so let me know !!! It's zoo worth it performance gain is unbelievable
