Default Headers

Hey guys, so the search bar wasn't too helpful today..

The muffler shop called and told me that every pricing they found for headers was pretty high and they just rather me just show up with the part myslef and have them install it.

Thats fine (exept the waiting game)

So i did a quick search on Ebay and came across the following Gibson Headers for 439.00 shipped.

I just dont want to go with the first thing I find.

Have you guys found a better headers around this price? Long tubes maybe?

If so, please firect me to the website. The faster I order it the faster I can have my exhaust done!

A million thanks!

Not too familiar with that brand "OBX"

Would you recoomend them over Gibson?

Or do yo recommend something other than these two?

Never heard of OBX but the company looks decent.

Gibson

OBX is good stuff! They made their name in the early '90s with aftermarket/racing products mainly for ricers. Some of the best gains in the industry on cars like the Civic, Prelude, Supra, 300ZX, etc. I think they even make sets for Chrysler cars like the Neon and PT Cruiser. I have a buddy who worked at a ricer performance shop in the Atlanta area while he was working his way thru college who swears by OBX stuff.

I would give them a serious look...

Thanks guys.

Moparman and Eimer The Gibsons and JBAs Im not too worried about, plenty of you guys have them; I just wanted to know where i could find them the cheapest( thanks Eimer ur site has the gibsons for 388 shipped)

I am very curious about the OBX, specially since they are advertised as being "long tube" dont know how much of a difference that will make.

I have JBA headers and love them. We installed Gibson headers on Trucky's and they perform really well also.
