good price and looks like a quality product, i mean they arent dc or buddy club but they arent some no name crap brand either , anyone have any experience with them?

i have an obx raceheader on my car and it works fine, may not make the most power, but it does the job for cheap

OBX is a knock off company. I have their LSD. It's a knock off of Quaife unit. The headers are copys of name brand units. I haven't seen anyone complain about them yet.

i guess all in all it would be a decent purchase then until i go boost, dont wanna spend $900 on buddy club headers just to pull them out next summer and lose money them trying to sell them used , and thenif i end up not going boost at least ill still have a decent header in the car, how does it sound colin?

so they only list is for an rsx , obviously its a k20 motor but they have have different headers for the rsx and the rsx type-s ... 1 piece or 2 piece, which would be the recommended header for the a3

obx RH verson 2
2.5 inch ebay exhaust mated to the stock axleback

only mods, doesnt sound great but at cruising speeds its silent, makes a little more power with no attention from cops

cool man , i hate to knock but that rev video sounded kinda tinny lol im hoping with the exhaust i have on now itll sound a little better than stock, my magna flow sounds really good with aem v2 intake i have, althought headers are for performance im a stickler for sound as well so i dont want it to sound riced out lol

yeah that raspyness sounds like how mine did with the shorty header megan downpipe and 2.5 to stock axleback... i'll take a vid of my spoon raceheader and 2.5 pipe to stock axle back.. sounds alot better..

Using a good quality resonator really cleans up your exhaust sound.

OBX RH for the win!!! I should have never traded mine. Oh well we live and we learn. Just glad to know its in good hands now.

i dont care about the sound at high rpms as im not up there much, at cruising speeds its silent, i just like the stock muffler because it makes me under the radar especially with all these stupid exhaust tickets, just not worth it imho
