Personally, I would never use a header by a chinese firm that was copied from an existing established manufacture.
And if you do a search on Google, with terms like:
'OBX crap' or 'OBX junk', etc., you may not want to use that low-buck counterfeit stuff either.
Pacesetter is the original header that the obx junk was copied from.

my experiences with pacesetter on a different car werent that great. fitment was off and then after a month or so it started leaking, it rattles its rather irritating pulling into a parking lot and it will be rattling and hearing the exhaust leak going. just gotta save up for a real header. though i remember hearing the obx was better then pacesetter. i dont remember who said it.
my obx i bought off here from another member. had to grind a little more off of the trop right, and he had already had them modified so it had the o2 bung in the one collector.
my biggest complain is that it goes from dual 2''(ish) collectors down to a single 2'' pipe... its a horrible bottle neck for the system, and getting them to seal was a bitch with the y-pipe, if i were to do it over again i would weld on that little y-pipe thing and then put a 2.5'' pipe off of the y-pipe and then plumb that back to the cat so its a nice big pipe.
i noticed top end more so than the low end, but it did get it more sound. and if you want to just PISS your neighbors off, start it up just straight open header, it sounds ungodly in person, i would run it like that on the streets if it wasnt for the fact i live in CA...

Never had any fitment problems with my Pacesetters.
But yes, the bottom collector looks to be an after thought.
(both brands, since the obx is just a copy).
I never used it.
I just built my own (2 smaller pipes dumping into a 3" collector).

This was the appropriate reply people.
If you're going to tell someone to search, do so, but help them as well.
