Whats your guys opinion on headers on an NA ka24de. Do you think its a waste of time/money?? I will be staying na for about 8 more months so would it be worth it? and is OBX all that bad? Iv heard both sides good and bad. Thankss

If you going turbo or whatever you have in mind it's a waste of time ans money too buy a header for N/A until then save that money for something you will need later down the road. Now with that beening said I put one on my 240 and I did lose a small amount of torque off the line but it did make my exhaust sound deeper. In which it did make it more enjoyable to drive bc I would wake up my neighbors when I was going to work at 4am lol

If you want to do it, just look around for a used header for $50 or less.

Not worth it. Its a lot louder for minimal gains and it changes your powerband slightly, so you may get more hp but possibly lose torque.

However it looks better...if you are into that. I had issues on one of my sohc headers hitting the steering rack knuckle, the other cleared, but is a worse design.

Did you already ditch the EGR?
