RE: wat u guys think about this header?
OBX knockoff...it should be just fine, i think someone else on the forum is running this header. But in all honesty, if you are actually planning on using that downpipe, you might as well buy a longtube header which will give you much more gains than just a standard header and downpipe...

RE: wat u guys think about this header?
I am runnig this pipe, three things, one is heat wrap it, it turns red hot!! Two, you will throw an O2 sensor code, it is a easy fix, search for obx headder or o2 sensor and we have cover it a few months ago. And three have fun installing it, it was a bit*h. Othet than that i liket it, the gains were nice and it sounds pretty good. With out a cat it gets louder. Good luck

RE: wat u guys think about this header?
I have that header two. I got sick of the o2 sensor code and my car wasn';t shifting right with the test pipe that comes in the kit. I ended up having the stock cat put back on with the new header. It sounds great with my Magnaflow cat back. The test pipe was WAYYYY TO RASPY. Anyway with the stock cat back on it shift right no code and is more clean sound out the exhaust(NO RICE ANYMORE!!!) UMM also I even bought a 02 senors cheater and it cleared the code but still the car actually had bad acceleration and again was NOT shifting right (it sounded like a fart every time it would shift).
IF I WAS GOING TO DO IT AGAIN I WOULD NOT, I REAPEAT WOULD NOTTTTTT GET AN AFTERMARKET HEADER OR TEST PIPE STOCK IS ALMOST AS GOOD B/C IT'S KINDA TUBULAR AND THE TUSUDO ISN'T THAT MUCH LONGER SO NOT MUCH HP GAIN. I SHOULD HAVE JUST GOT THE CAT BACK MAGNAFLOW EXHAUST (SOUNDS SICK!!!) AND THE COLD AIR AND JUST SPAY THE CAR WITH A ZEX IT. SO ALL I'M SAYING IS IT'S NOT REALLY WORTH IT TO GET THE HEADER. THERE ARE ALOT BETTER ROUTES TO GO.
PS. Last thing the header is not great for everyday driving b/c the car dosn't really have enough power to drive normally untill around 3 grand.

HERE IS THE LINK FOR THE POST ON THE SENSOR:
https://dodgeforum.com/m_440538/tm.htm
I am currently using the defouler trick but it is a bitch of a time keeping the defouler tight so i suggest using the real unit. When the car throws a code it goes into "limp" mode making it run like sh*t. But when it is running good i love it. The down pipe does give a little rasppy sound but i like the sound of mine (not to ricy) i have the headder, down pipe, then 3' piping with 2 glass packs and then the SRT-4 Rear section and it sounds and perfoarms great.
I Dont think i would go with the ebay sensor fix, spen a few extra bucks and get the good one, with e-bay you get what you pay for. Good luck with everything!!!!
