Okay so I finally plugged up the AIV and EGR plug and the OBX header off Ebay for 197. shipped is totally worth it! I do feel the power 3-7 HP maybe. It's my butt dynoed so don't as for a dynoed. Thank you.

I am going to install my 3 inch Megan exhaust drift spec on Monday and I'll post some picture and I'll let you know how it feels.

After that I'll install the straight pipe and ASP pulley. Again I will post pictures later and update on this post. Stay tune!

Thanks!

Yeah, but see. DC Sports has it like that from the factory, the fitment is perfect, and it wont crack. I'm going on 5 months here and not one single problem at all. Not only that, but I have more ground clearance compared to the stock one. I'm a firm believe in you get what you pay for.

sometimes you get what you pay for, other times your paying more for what you get. Any header you get ceramic coated is better to any without, doesn't matter manufacturer. Just my .02. I managed to grab a used obx with no cracks for really cheap. I am going to have it cleaned up and ceramic coated. I personally don't believe in paying anymore than necessary for the quality you want. Just remember you don't always pay for quality, but you do always pay for a name.

I wasn't going to. It's not like I said the DC Sports one is the best just because of it's ceramic coating.
