i know from having an obx downpipe on my volvo that these things discolor like a son of a b*tch, BUT at this cost it would almost be worth it to pick these up and have them ceramic coated. anyone wanna try em out lol

I think we found the exact opposite of the cost/quality spectrum from Supersprint's headers. LOL

geez idk who's dumber. the person who buys the obx, or the person who buys the supersprint...

with that being said, i havent had any welds on the 3" obx dp on my volvo break in 5+ years of use (temps reaching almost 1400 degress off the turbo). the only thing i have noticed is a crazy amount of discoloration

Well, I can tell you one thing, no one is going to ever accuse the owner of a Supersprint exhaust of being cheap.

Now when you say "discoloration", is that code for "rust"? I don't think the OBX headers are genuine 304 Stainless at that price point.

no not rust, execept where i had it welded of course. but its tons of gold, and blue and a lil silver mixed here and there. definately not the prettiest thing in the world.


lol and ya i guess nobody would accuse a supersprint owner of being cheap. but i guess thats where the saying "there's a sucker born every minute" comes from

either way both headers need to be brought. No Z mod should be untouched!

fully polished t304 will always discolor being on the header portion of the exhaust. WAYYY too much heat will turn it into a purple/goldish's color

I had a DC Sport header on my civic like 10 years ago and even that thing, assuming was quality discolored on le 4 banger lol

Anymore experience with OBX LTH? There are two kinds:

http://www.amazon.com/OBX-Exhaust-He...words=obx+370z

and

OBX Long Tube Exhaust Manifold Headers for 09 14 Nissan 370Z 3 7L V6 VQ37VHR New | eBay

Not sure what the difference is, but the one on amazon looks like a better design

Minato is an unknown quantity at this point

slightly shorter runners on the Amazon link, might be better for top end power rather than lower end. The shorter runners also claim to have 1.7" ID, the longer runners are 1.7" OD.
