Hey guys so i just finished getting all of new parts and then i realized that i wanted to go a new header too. Any suggestions of what is the best kind to get i was looking at OBX but everyone says its crap. IF you guys could let me know of some good parts that would be great.

um, im pretty sure its DC sports who has made a full length "race" header. its long enough to take the place of the converter as well. stainless and i know DC used to have great fitment, that was long ago but ive never heard anyone totally diss them eaither. check their website and see what they offer.

I have the OBX ceramic coated header on my S14. Had it on the car for a year now, and have had zero issues. Install was a b****, and I had to do some creative welding work for the two O2 sensors, but once it was in and buttoned up it hasn't given me any problems. Adds to the great sound of the HKS exhaust too. And with it being ceramic coated, it looks exactly the same as the day I installed it. I am happy with it. And for the price, why not?

I've had the OBX header for probably 5 years now, after 4 years of constant strain from a badly fitted custom exhaust (no flex pipe) one of the runners finally cracked at the weld, held out a lot longer than I figured it would for $150, and the power gain is actually noticeable too oddly enough, food for thought.

if you can find one, HOTSHOT header is def the best for the KA. Great quality and sounds awesome, especially with N1 duals!!

I just bought an OBX header for my 93 and it fits PERFECT. I believe they changed the design a while back because it hit the firewall or steering column. Anyways the only things bad about it is the EGR outlet is a tiny bit off so I have to screw the EGR in first, then on to the intake manifold. Also the PAIR valve (which I removed) outlet isn't the right size. I would have emailed them about it, but I just have it plugged.
