Never heard of OBX. Are those 3/4" or 7/8"?

Isn't OBX a chinese exhaust brand and usually sold on ebay ? if that's the case i'd say buy at your own risk.....

i think i bought an OBX header for my 94 altima years ago. the fitment was terrible, i had to drill the holes bigger to fit to the head and the EGR and O2 fittings were no where near where they were supposed to be.

good luck

Default worked great

I bought obx headers and y -pipe a couple years ago and still are perfect. The fitment was great, no denting a primary to get aroung steering shaft. It bolt right up to my slp lm2. Id probably get a catted y if you have slp. It was raspy but I just put one high flow cat right before the slp resonator and now sounds great. bolts and egr flanges mounted perfectly. I got my for $480 a few years back, not too bad with ay pipe. I think it was $700 for the catted kit. Doesnt bang on the floorboard either.

Very true, but sponsors have similar deals on Pacesetter Header/Y pipe combos which are a more reliable product, IMO.

funny you should say that. Id have pacesetter and there were both leaking at the weld by the collecters within a year. obx are stainless and better quailty in my opinion.
