Im wondering this also. I would like to know how much it will cost and would there be any modifcations at all? I used to be able to find OBX stainless steel on Ebay but not anymore. I would like to buy these. Any feedbacks???

His page is towards the bottom of the main SM page.
I know they have been selling those headers MODIFIED to fit on our 7M but it is expensive. Still, i would go through them anyways.
935 Motorsports. Robert is one hell of a guy.
FYI: The next person that PM's me about selling my headers will be excluded from consideration when I make my F/S thread. Sheesh.

I just got a quote from 935MS and for a set of 3in OBX headers, he charges $450+shipping. He said the bottom section of the header would be steel, not stainless.
thats a awesome price considering all the custom and cutting it would take to make it fit, plus it he tries each one on i believe to insure correct fitment, I"m getting a set sometime by the end of the year
The 200 dollar one on ebay will not fit.
End of story. If you want a header to fit your car, go through 935.

The one from E-bay has to be modified in a few ways. Weld the bottom part to the collectors. Cut the O2 bung off that they put on(its wrong in every way possible), and weld a universal one in just behind the "Y" pipe that gets welded to the collectors. Drill out the bolt holes in the flange a little so that they fit better. Grind down the front of the flange so that it clears the coolant housing under the distributor. All in all, took me an hour to modify it without welding the 2 pieces together. I didn't learn that lesson until it came apart while driving home one night...
The OBX piece that connects the header to the cat is 2 1/4", but I think 935 replaces it with 2.5" . If I'd have known about his, I would have bought it from him instead. Paid $305 shipped for mine.

There aren't many people that are willing to take the time to do multiple test fits to make sure it fits the 7mge.
Any shop could do this, while they install it into your car, you just would have to have a very good mechanic friend.
If you find one cheaper then I sell it for, you could always send it in for modification.
The address is on the website.
