Im buying a new RH but I dont konow which one of those should i get. is it really a big difference performancewise between the dc and the obx??
another thing that i realized, is that the obx has the ports 1 and 2 running together and 3 and 4 together. Isnt it better to have 1-4 and 2-3?? Is the DCRH 1-4 2-3? or how?

im positive that the build quality on the DC is going to be better then the OBX.

people get bigger gains going from a shorty + tp to a DCRH.

i say DC

I have a Type-S OBX header and it seems to be doing just fine, and its been proven on CRSX that it puts out better gains the DC and Megan.

are there any clearance issues with the OBX header?

Get a pic of the Version you have. Heres a few pics of mine.
(Version 3) The comptech replica with a flex pipe. I believe the only issue with clearance im having is that its on a K24. The only issue I had was the sway bar and the slight angle back up towards the car frame near the final runner of the header banging on the bottom of the car, but it has been fixed ($40 fix)

how much was the stainless steel obx rh? And is an EP specific version made? Notice any issues with the welds or anything?

it was around $260 shipped off of ebay, the quality of the header was shocking, and over 4500 miles and not one problem. I believe they only make it for the RSX-S.

I thought the RSX-S and the EP Race Header are the same in length and the only difference was the midpipe right? Will the OBX RH, HKS midpipe and HKS Hi-power work or do I have to have some cutting/welding?

Since the header is RSX spec you will need a RSX spec midpipe. I think you can still use an EP spec axle back.
