OBX Header?

[PhoebusApollo]

I've seen a stainless steen OBX header on eBay selling for under 200 bucks... is this thing actually comparable to the hotshot header? Or is it just another OBX piece of crap? Anyone buy this thing?

I think this has been discussed before but I guess I will reiterate. It is crap.

I guessed as much. Looks like I'll be calling Nismo and getting thier Hot Shot header. Thanks though!

...or, in Math terms...

OBX < Crap

OBX <= Barrel Sludge

Nismo and hot shot are two different companies...

From what I hear a long time ago doesn't Nismo use Hotshot headers? Like they slap there sticker on it?

So you're paying nismo prices for an effing sticker? No thanks.

I've heard otherwise. The OBX is a knockoff of the hotshot header. Only thing is the OBX is not ceramic coated so it's more prone to crack. It is half the price....Also, i heard the welds are great. Whenever I see OBX I tend to stay away, but i heard these headers are pretty good. Especially for the price ! Check zilvia.net for some more reviews on the OBX header.

yes, the Nismo header IS a hotshot header, the part number is even the same in both catalogs. And in the 2002 Nismo book/catalog on my coffee table it lists it as a HotShot header.
