Been doing some searching around for some parts and came accross this OBX racing header set that I have never seen or heard of before. It looks good, made of stainless and they say its tuned for performance and the price is good too...just curious if others are using this system and how well it works and if you are happy with it...also what about a muffler??? I am tired of my old Bursch muffler and am leaning towards headers as my heater boxes are toast anyway.....

The general opinion of the OBX isn't a good one, they don't ever seem to fit correctly without major modifications.

Good aftermarket options for headers and mufflers are available from TANGERINE RACING (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Triad West Performance, Kerry Hunter (if he still builds them) and a few others.
For a good deal, you can check out the classified section here, something always pops up!
