Be here on 08/05/2010 (I hope)
 A small updat on the OBX headers. Got a shipping notice that I should expect to see them on 08/05. Coming from Cal to FL is about a week or so. A couple of things to share; I tried the "make Offer" on ebay and did manage to drop the price to $530. That with shipping is $650. Sounds like a lot for shipping but I calculated buying HKR's and for headers and sidepipes it was about $95.The weight of the OBX according to UPS is approximately 76 pounds. I will take an actual weight once unboxed. I also bought a set of 21046HKR muffler inserts. (Was told by the OBX supplier that the OBX headers and pipes do not come with mufflers.) Picked them up on the bay on a Holley scratch and dent. They ran $93+$20 shipping. Their weight is 22 pounds. By the way I have already received the high flow mufflers. The only thing wrong with them is some black paint missing from the outside. Who cares, they go into a tube anyway. Best price I found for "new" ones were $177 plus shipping. So so far total cost is $761, and 98 pounds. I will spend a little more for a good set of cooper header gaskets and I am sure for some small hardware. That should be the end of the cost unless I opt to get the ceramic coating on the headers. Verdict is still out on that. I hope by this weekend I'll have some pictures for you.

I also used the copper head gaskets, Summit is a lot cheaper than the local store... think I paid $40 and Summit has them for $20....
The locking header bolts work great, brand name used to be Breslin and now it's Percy's ... I bought the stainless version (Summit)...

Went on the Summitt web site this morning and ordered the copper header gaskets. they ran $22 plus ship. I want to stay away from the paper gasket material. Alread had to change them out once befor on my current setup.

Headers are here
[Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...]
Received the headers and they look just fine. Test fit the pipes to the headers and no concerns. They do not come with any hardware so you will need to design your own way of mounting the pipes to the side of the car. Also I recommend two sets of headers bolts. I found that going form a narrow with flange like on the Headmans to a 3/8 flange gobbles up bolt threads. You will still need the short bolts because I found one pile that was rather colse to the bolt hole on the flange and only a short will work. [Only registered and activated users can see links.

[Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...] Question for you on the pipe inserts. The mufflers have a open laver . Which way do they go in or does it make a difference? [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...] [Only registered and activated users can see links.

Off with the old
First I needed to remove my Headman headers and Patriot sidepipes. Nothing wrong with them but I want the more aggressive looks of the HKR type headers.

Click Here To Register...][Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...] Passenger side; I also have an aftermarket a/c system so had to modify the brackets slightly to clear one of the pipes. Had to do the same thing with Headmans just did not have to remove quite as much material.[Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...] I put the remaining parts back on the passenger side. No issues with pligs, no special tool. Just used a regular spark plug socket and a 3/4 in wrench for the area's where an extension and ratched would not work. A a note, I have the Acell 9000 plug wires with stright ends, had to bend two of them to 90 degree other wils wiould most definately will burn on the headers. I will probably get the insolated spark plug boots just to be safe. Other than a slight modification of an aftermarket a/c bracket the passenger side went in just fine. Also both go in from the bottom. I don't have a lift but a floor jack and jackstands works just fine. The number 2 cyl inside bolt hole is where I had to use a short header bolt.
