OBX Header for 1990 240SX no where near a good fit.

Do not buy this product. I purchased it from tuningdepot.com on Ebay.

1-Brand new O2 sensor, EGR tube, and Pair EGR tube. The wire length on the O2 sensor is too short because the O2 boss is set too low causing the sensor to hit the firewall. They had to bang in the firewall for the top to clear and the header will need to be removed to change sensor. 2-No EGR pair bracket so we created our own with a screw clamp. 3- Header barely clear steering column.4- Header has 1/8” clearance to tranny5-Header enters under the floor pan too close to the driver’s side and does not line up with the cat.6-Header makes contact with the floor pan.

After many calls, neither the seller nor the manufacturer will refund the additional expense $75.00, for torching and bending the header in a few places to make it fit. Nor will they warrant the product.This is a link to the pictures.http://lovelife.smugmug.com/ga...qYQDe

wow. That's strange.I actually replaced my crappy PaceSetter header with the cheap, $50 OBX knock-off header. Paid just under a hundred bux shipped.I have no emmissions so I can not comment on those two fittings, however the O2 sensor did require a bit of firewall massaging to clear comfortably. Overall fitment is very good, clears steering column (unlike Pacesetter), clears transmission and meets up with the stock cat with no issues.Sorry for the fitment problems that plagued you though.
