They person has a thread going here in this forum, look for it.

Second of all, the start motor issue just came out recently on the Stainless XS headers, a DIFFERENT BRAND of headers ALSO SOLD ON EBAY. Try getting your information straight before posting.
Of course you own a set of ebay headers, thats why you are so quick to defend them right? Why do people have to defend the poor quality **** they own. Why defend a product of poor quality that has fitment issues? When I buy something that doesnt fit im not gonna defend it. Each to his own. Its like the people that defend their K&N filter to the death.

I emailed the OBX and they said they were resonators. Not cats. They do not have them for the 02 cars. Its looks like a bunch of parts that would fall apart. They are probably made in China.

I've used OBX products in the past with some sucess. Took three orders to find a set that would bolt up, and even then there were was a problem with rubbing the trans bell housing. Didn't take much to fix the rubbing. They also needed some spatter cleaned up. Other than being hit or miss, more miss than hit, they performed well.
The fact that you can get a quality LSx header for just a few more peso's than these, I would pass on them.

i offered to buy them for cheap and then dyno them and take pics for the guy but he didnt want to work with my price, knowing how this forum is, if one mule says its good people wnt be afraid to buy em (not a bad thing). well, i gues he'll have to keep selling accord header(s)
I will let you know how they perform and sound. I droped my 99 ta off tuesday to have the OBX header system installed along with a richmond 3:73.
I should have the car back the first of the week. I will ask how hard and if the performance shop had any trouble installing the headers.

I just put them on my car tonight no fitment issues whatsoever no leaks and they sound great. They also have all 4 o2 bungs. they dont have that retarted flat spot in the y pipe either. They dont hang down any lower than stock, well maybe an inch or so. I didn't have to do ANY modifications to make theese fit they went in very easily. I'll post some pics in a couple of days.

his reply, "hi they are resonatoros"
the dude cant even spell. not to mention he doesnt even address the second question.
NOTHING pisses me off worse than taking the time to ask a question about something i'm thinking about buying (or already bought) and getting a half assed reply.
my .02, spend the little bit of extra money and get something proven from somebody willing to take 5 minutes out of thier day to answer questions.
