RE: asking about the obx header.
Danny, From all I've read about the OBXfor the 3 series... DUMP IT!! It was not designed well for the 3 series, is too short throws CEL's, cracksand only causes problems... short and long term. I understand the Proto guys do much better with OBX than we do. If you insist on installing it, then yes a custom flex pipe is necessary. I don't know what size, probably 2.5", but a local muffler shop should be able to figure it out. Sorry to be the bringer of bad news, but I've read nothing but headaches and heartaches are in your future from this header. Ya' get what ya' pay for. |
RE: asking about the obx header.
i havent really read many good things about it either, and for the time it took me to install my header, i wouldnt want to replace it numerous times.
im pretty sure you've already installed it, but if you can, get the Vibrant. its the best of the best. that what i have, and after 6 months, ive had NO problems with it at all. *knocks on wood* |
RE: asking about the obx header.
"Vibrant!" Yesssss....... :D |
RE: asking about the obx header.
ok so you deff don't reccomend the obx header. ok i haven't installed it yet so i think ima gonna go with the vibrant then. i'll have to sell mine. but when i've seen the vibrant in picture it doesn't look like the kind that goes in my car. is tht normal or have i been looking in the wrong place. cuz i've like looked it up like in google.

The advantage, and I know this from having worked modified BMW's of old, that a 4-2-1 configuration is much better for the street, especially in an I-4. You will actually use the extra power vs. losing it most of thetime. The header we used to recommend for the 4-cyl streetBimmers was the Stahl. Same 4-2-1 set up. I am not planning on the header thing for my own car, just too much trouble w/emissions testing these days, but if I were, I'd certainly go w/the Vib. And did I mention (likeno less than ten times) that I LOVE my Vib exhaust!!! |

The volume control works very nicely to tame that noise. TURN-IT-DOWN!!!! |

owners of cars with ultra loud audio systems and overly-intense subwoofers are prone to degradation in the control of his/her bowels. the subs weaken the muscles of the sphincter, and by middle-age, these people will be deaf and wearing diapers.:D:D:D

I can't figure it out either?? ;):D:D |
