Re: ebay
dont kno about ur ebay question but from what i am hearing OBX is a junk header. They will still give u slight gains but i hear their new design doesnt work as good. DC and the Chikara tork stepped header i hear is really good for gains. thats my 2cents

Re: ebay
I can't really respond with an useful info as to your original question, other than I think 15hp is a bit of an exageration.
That said, I can tell you my experience with Hedman/Chikara headers. I put them on my 90 Accord. The gaskets they gave me didn't even line up correctly. I had to have my originals grinded, this in turn led to exhaust leaks on both gaskets within 200 miles. I got replacement copper gaskets that worked great. But just be aware that there were fitment issues with this brand. I called a local Honda racing/repair guy around me, and he said he had done 3 or 4 of the same headers and had similar problems with all of them. They work, but fitment issues seem common. Don't know if that helps, just my .02

Re: ebay
Well, here is just as good a place as any...I would do a search in this forum for header brands. I know it has been addressed multiple times. And they had more responses on those threads. That will point you in the right direction.
