Header difference

I have been checking the headers out they range from 150.00 to 700.00. They all seem to be made out of the same stainless steel. Makes you wonder why their is so much price difference.

The OBX header is on the lower side of the price scale, yet all of the reviews from NAM members have been positive. Get a good one is good advice, but it doesn't necessarily mean get the most expensive one .

OBX is good, but u need to reuse ur stock cat, which is a big restrictor. u can get a high flow cat and just do that, probably giving u more of an increase than the header and stock cat.

Or the ideal setup would be the MTH header and cat: https://www.mth-usa.com/sess/utn;jse...dex.shopscript

If and when I get the money, after a head port & polish , I want to do that. Primo construction and sweet cat. Plus u can get the MTH files to max it out.
