The OBX Header appears to be a copy of the Supersprint Header. The header has gotten attention because of its 175.00 price tag - way below any other manufactuerer.
The header is 4-2-1 design and is a race header (no CAT).
Quality - Overall the finish and welds look very good.
Running ones finger inside the 4 pipes you will note that it is not perfectly smooth but there is nothing sticking up either.
Install - Bolting up the header, we found one hole very close to one of the pipes that, we had to shave the flange off of the bolt to get in in properly. Having done that it went in with no problem.
Conclusion - It's a low budget header which will more than do the job for many.

Pros:
Cons:
I am missing all the items, gasket, flange, bolts and donut seal
I emailed them about the missing parts and was told they would ship them, but I never received anything, item won Sept 8, received 2 weeks later and now, Nov 6th, still no parts.
I will update if I ever receive the missing items.

Pros:
Price and performance
Cons:
Need to weld in a cat, and a couple of minor fitment issues.
Best bang for the buck in headers at under $200. I didn't get it coated, and there is a bit of an increase in underhood temps, but no big deal. It didn't really change the sound too much with a one-ball exhaust, so don't worry about waking the neighborhood. I had to use one stud in place of the header bolts due to weld and pipe angle , but no big deal considering the price. I've had mine on for almost 6 months, and if you put all your heat shield back on, you can't even see it's there unless you look really hard for it. Overall, a must have mod for cheap bast*rds like me!

Pros:
Price & TQ gain
Cons:
minor fiment issue
Great bang for the buck. I had problems installing 1 manifold bolt which was resolved by shaving a 16th off the diameter of the bolt. Other than that no issues, very happy with what it did for the car. I opted to re-use the stock cat and its been working fine.
Those seeking to add performance for this price I highly recommend.

Pros:
Sound, Power, Convenience
Cons:
I purchased the OBX Header from Helix with thier Cat package. It's the OBX header, welded to a Random Technologies 300 cell Cat. This was great because it was ready to bolt right on as soon as it came. The fit was great with the excepton of one bolt that was difficult to get at due to pipe angle & size. Paired up with my Borla Race Cat-back, the sound is incredible! Not too much louder at idle or under normal acceleration, but get on it and WOW!!! Best part, the Cat keeps the ECU from throwing any codes & will pass emissions, at least here in CT.
