Has anybody thought about splicing in:

I know JLM and others are running the ATP one... I've got a Borla cat-back, and I'd like to mate a metallic core cat to it and the OBX header...

The plan is to leave the entire OEM manifold together, just in case I ever needed it to pass inspection...

 

here try this:

http://magnaflow.performance-curve.c...PROD&ProdID=82

The magnaflow cat will work and cost you less than half of the ones you had listed above

 

Yeah - but the Magnaflow has a ceramic core, not a metallic core like the other two... I'd rather have the metallic, since it's more suited to continuous high speed operation (e.g. autocrossing and track days).

 

Who currently has the best price on the OBX header? Are these only sold on e-bay or ??

Any help would be great. I want to get this on order as soon as I can.

 

Check eBay... Lowest prices around!

 

A smidget lower I believe if you go to the sparktec website. They are one of the ebay sellers as well but sell cheaper on their site. At least thats how it was a few months ago. I got mine for $187 with shipping to Seattle.

 

Thanks Minitor

Ask for Fabry.

 

Ah... I love bringing threads back from the dead...

So, can anyone give me an exact measurement of the stock cat piece from where you cut the stock cat, weld on the provided adapter... to the back of that pipe where it mounts to the factory exhaust.

So... in other words, the "new" bolt in cat piece that was created from cutting the cat off the factory header and welding the provided adapter to it. Overall length and diameter would be fantastic.

This will allow any of us who want to source an aftermarket cat BEFORE we go under the car. That way if we want to prep them in anyway...(stay tuned)... we can, without having to chop up our original header and cat...

Anyone? Puhhleeezzz?

 

hi i am new to this forum and from waht i have read already there are lots of answers too my questions but 1.....

I have a mini cooper 11/2001 , and i just fitted my supersprint connecting (center) pipe without resonator and a supersprint rear muffler....


now my question is can i fit the obx header too the cat replacement pipe from supersprint (picture )



i would like too keep my original header with cat, because i am afraid they will not spare me at the autocontrol , and if they see i welded an aftermarket header too my original cat , i am *****......

How long does it take too fit the aftermarket header ?

why doesn't obx deliver a cat replacement element like that one of supersprint shown in the picture ?

thx

vroaammmmmmmmm.........

 

Since OBX is a SS CLONE the parts should be interchangeable. I swapped out my OBX exhaust tips for a SS tips with no issues.

 

so is it possible too connect the above piece on the obx header ?

 

Anyone have the dimensions for that test pipe?

 

wow.. 56°C? 133°F?? that is really, really hot.

 

What are these things - what do they do - where do they go?

Thanks for the link!

 

you're welcome

 

Anyone have the part number for this test pipe?

 

i've asked these questions on another thread but got no answers.

I've heard that the OBX header has some subtle differences to the SS header. Are these differences major, and is the performance of the two headers different? Does the SS make more power than the OBX?

 

part number is 830601 ...... with o2 bung (http://www.supersprint.com/homeuk.htm)

which setup are U trying to run ?

 

Thanks miniracer1 !

Im trying to find the dimensions of this pipe, so I can have one made!

 

Can I get some cliff notes?

My car is reeeallly loud today with a 3" custom cat-back with one highflow muffler. How much louder would it be with OBX header and removing cat? Do you get some fire out of the exhaust without a cat? :mischief:

 

what about the heatshield on a mini cooper 2002,

should the shield be removed entirly, or can it be reinstalled after the header was installed ?

thank u

 

I have an 03 and I was able to reinstall all of the heat shield once the header was installed.
