obx
i have a 1995 eclipse gs, i was looking at obx exhaust headers and h type catback system, i want to know if their any good, i also found some kind of obx intake manifold that says it increases volumetric efficiency by 70%, if anyone knows anything about them please reply.

Re: obx
header and exhaust should be fine, dont bother with the intake manifold it wont help you out much unless you have a CAI, larger TB, etc etc so wait on that one

Re: obx
They're fine. I like them. Use them if you don't want to spend the money. You may end up having to spend the money again later down the line though. No IM... not worth it.

Re: obx
Yeah the gauges my bro had were absolute shit. Everything about them sucked, and i'm sure they weren't accurate. As for an exhaust i'm not sure how you could mess that up (they could find a way i'm sure) you might have fitment issues.

Re: obx
I've seen a lot of rusted and cracked OBX parts and have also seen pictures of how some OBX headers even though they bolt up, the pipes don't exactly line up with the ports on the head, which while it doesn't leak, causes it to not do much more from stock other than make the car louder.
