Another "have you tried these (different) headers?" thread...

Links to OBX ones purchased?

Very nice, can't wait to see the video.

This paired up with thier SuperSprint style muffler would be a nice setup. ;-)

Just installed them this weekend in my garage, I will update in detail as soon as I have the time.

In the meantime, I would absolutely recommend them over the OBX headers I had before and I say go ahead to anybody who wants to buy them as long as you're willing to do a little tweaking and you're not expecting perfection in regards to fitment.

I'm looking at the exact set as well, about to pull the trigger. UPDATE PLEASE!!

Let me know if those headers work out for you, im definitely interested in buying a set.

I wonder how these compare?

Interesting that it's got a solid flange across all 6.

I gave them a long look too. The only way to know if they're any good for certain is to buy and install them. But, I do have a few thoughts. First, the extra long flange likely has a greater tendency not to be flat than a standard 3-primary flange. It may also make them harder to install since you're installing the complete header at one time? Just a guess. But either way, I don't see any outstanding benefits of the long flange at first glance.

Also, whereas the ones I purchased above are a direct copy of the BavAuto units, these CX Racing headers seem to be their own design from scratch and they don't seem to be "long tubes" in the genuine sense; they're shorter primaries it seems to my eye.

Is there an O2 sensor bung on those?

They look good! The reason your 2" tubing isn't sliding over the headers is because they're both 2", lol.

You need to have an exhaust shop flare the tubing so it slides over the headers.

For sure, I didn't mean it to sound like a problem or as a surprise.

Awesome, very interested to hear how they are!

[Cinnabar325is]

Well, I took the plunge and purchased these. I'll report on them once I have them in hand and then again once they're installed.

It seems nobody else here has them yet, so I'll be the guinea pig.
