View Full Version : Header Group Buy!
Captain KRM P5
05-04-2004, 03:31 PM
Alright here's a group buy some people were asking for; OBX Stainless Steel Racing Headers for the 2.0 (fits the 1.8) engine. I'll need ten people to make this price good and that price will be...
$199 plus shipping
Most places sell these headers for $300 or so, and the lowest I have found is $240. This is a $50 reduction over my base price. Shipping will be about $25 or so on these.

-will remove your first cat, but keeps the second
-uses stock bolt holes
-has EGR pipe fitting
-has both O2 sensor bungs
-user will need to buy or fabricate a CEL eliminator...This board already has a How-to on that

I'm also in Canada (Vancouver). Possibly interested. How does this compare up to Ractive?
Would you be able to accomodate the duties issues we have? (ie. reduce declared value and ship by USPS - UPS rapes us with brokerage fees).

looks like the technical specs were covered pretty well by other members. As for comparing it to the Ractive, they are both 4-1 so results should be comparable. Topher just got one of these from me and both he and his wife love the resulting powerband change. He let his wife drive the P5 and she apparently really was surprised by it!

i actually bought 2...one for my p5 and one for my mp3. NICE gain for $225...hell, i paid more than that for my UR Crank Pulley. this mod is WELL worth the money...and i hope i don't jinx myself by saying this, but it's been on my car since monday afternoon...i drive 20 miles one-way to work...and no CEL yet...but i do have a MIL Eliminator sitting in my desk for when it does come on...so, not only is this worth the money, Ken is a GREAT guy to deal with...yep, he's the man! (not to be confused with "tha man" that holds us peeps down).
and no, he didn't pay me to say this...although it would be nice.

4-1 are better in higher RPM ranges than a 4-2-1 design...at least that's what the voices in my head tell meI'm aware that the 4-1's are for top end. That's why im kinda wondering if I'll be losing a bit of torque due to the design of the primaries. Also, does the car still kinda die around 6500? If it just smooths out the power a bit, ill buy it. :)
stdntDrvr
05-05-2004, 11:16 AM
i REALLY need to get to a dyno...i honestly don't run my car past 6500...and that's when i'm getting on it...so i can't tell you...i will say this, for the $$, you can't beat it...you can either buy this for $199+shipping (or whatever the price is)...or pay $565 for the AWR.
i believe the 4-2-1 removes both cats anyway which is more toruble than its worth in my book.

jet-coating on some stainless steel can be more harmful than good.. it can trap too much heat and wear down your stainless.. jet-coating on regular steel on the other hand is a good idea.
this is what i've learned from wagner & perf when finding out as much as possible about the shorty header they are producing.
someone else may be able to provide a better explanation.

05-09-2004, 06:42 PM
i think the stainless steel doesn't need either.. it does a good enough job keeping the heat in on it's own.. but the regular steel needs help holding the heat in and that's why regular steel benefits from jet-coating or using a header wrap.
someone correct me if i'm wrong.

Can you shed some light on the manufacturing details and type of steel on these headers!!?
Captain KRM P5
05-09-2004, 07:02 PM
from OBX racing;
the headers are made out of SUS-304 stainless steel, and they are precision mandrel-bent to enhance exhaust gas flow.
-T-304 Stainless Steel mandrel bend for ultra fast flow.
-CNC Machine flanges with TIG and MIG welded construction
-both 02 Sensor position
-Lifetime warranty from manufacturer defects.

these headers are NOT used. Every single one I got was sealed in the packaging. I've ordered and opened alot of these headers from OBX and not one of them came with new hardware or gaskets. For the record the AWR header does not come with a new gasket either. I had to reuse my stock gasket on my turbo downpipe as well.
i will send an email to OBX asking them about the carbon. next time, please shoot me a PM or email first rather than starting a brand new "Eh hem" thread, so I know whats going on and we can resolve this.

(boobs) boobs......oh yea well ummm...sorry about the eh hem thread ill know next time...yes please look into it for me, im not going to use these..And im not putting anything on you but if theres carbon build up inside throughout the whole header then they were used...its not like something was just burnt up inside the headers for no reason...or it appeared out of no where

Dude it's probably from having the bungs welded into it??? I just put mine on and it was fine....no "carbon" here. I did have to file out the hole for the 1st 02 sensor a little, but otherwise the fit was perfect!!! Nice product, thanks Captain.(cheers2)

Hey guys, the header looks great on the car. An awesome sound with the INJEN/TEAMMOON combo, sounds big, low, and full---alot more sound coming from the front of the car. Wow, coming back into my development, I had to drive in 3rd to stay in a nice "silent" mode. Tommorrow, I'll have pics up for you guys.
BTW, no "CEL" yet, and I have 20 miles on it already. Yes i did the CEL MIL.

and after 57 miles, got a CEL.

There is no tracking numbers when shipped through USPS and then Canada Post. Things always get held up at the border, i imagine it'll be another few days before they arrive.

Im getting really pissed that i havnt got a comment from you. But i see your on here talking to other people. Do i have to take pictures and show everyone the "used" product you sent me. I have headers at my house and i really wanna put em on , but i cant do that. You know how bad that erks me. Come on, i thought joining this forum was a great idea. And i was gonna buy headers from somewhere else but someone said "support your vendors". (blah) And now ive been fucked in the ass.

Its NOT a used header. Heres an example, we bought an RX8 intake. Even in the instructions it states to wipe out and clean any crap from the inside. There was a light layer of black soot or some shit. Same with my Injen intake. Shit gets dirty from laying around in thier shop, from shipping, from everywhere. Ken got these straight from OBX and shipped them straight to the customers. Its not like he even has time to put the header on, use it, and then take it off and send it to you.

whoa there. i've been talking back and forth with other people because I actually have information for them or answers to thier questions. OBX has yet to get back to me with an answer on this. Until I had a real answer for you, I wasn't going to get back with you with empty messages. I've got one pm in my inbox from you from last night it shows on my end, and then immediatly thereafter sending me that you post this?
i have left them both a voicemail and more than a handful of emails. when i hear something that will help you out, I will tell you. But your language and attitude is really uncalled for.

outONyo - What is the color of the header. Please post pictures if you can. A used header will be discolored on the outside due to the heat of the exhaust gasses. A new header will be chrome and shiny. There is no way to use the header and have it NOT change color.
Thanks,
Bryan

Listen how would you feel if you think you got ripped. I think my language was actually held back. And i sent the pm yesterday about 12 in the afternoon and made this post this morning. Dont be trying to make me sound like an asshole. Ive been ripped off to many times on ebay/internet to be calm with people. You have my money, i have your product. It does not meet my standards and thats that. Its supposed to brand new so how would the whole inside of this thing be covered in carbon?Makes no sense. DEXTER, i dont think he had it on his car and he took it off to sell it, Dont be smart. I dont think captain knowingly sent me a header with all this shit in it. Hes just the resposible party in this, because hes the person i gave my money to. The only thing i have is a camera phone,,,WIll that put up good pics?
Dexter
05-27-2004, 11:32 AM
outONyo - Just because you've been ripped off too many times doesn't mean you need to jump the gun and imply we are ripping you off. Like I asked, is there discoloration on the header? Every person I've asked said there has been soot inside the header. A NEW header will not be discolored though, so thats what tells you its been used or not.

dude, chill. ken is a very honest person...there's no need to get all pissy with him...he'll do everything he can to make you happy...and just because there's black shit inside the header doesn't mean it's used. i've bought 2 of these from ken without a problem...shit happens...it's not his fault...and you're the FIRST person i know of to have a negative thing to say about him.

if "fucked in the ass" is what you consider responsible and held back language then I'd hate to see what's really on your mind. I've done nothing but talk to you in a professional tone and manner and in practically every communique I've had with you has been precisely the opposite. I've responded as soon as I have seen a post or PM you have made. Just because you send me a PM at noon doesn't mean I get it at 12:01 etc. I don't live on the forums :)
OBX's offices are currently closed. I will call them again in a half hour until I can get through/they open.

Can you answer my original question? What color is the header?
SpicyMchaggis
05-27-2004, 12:08 PM
Yeah really, I bought one of the first OBX headers from these guys...It was bright chrome, and the inside and soot inside it..That comes from the original testing of the welds FROM THE MANUFACTURER.. Your header is not used, you just saw black dust inside the header and assumed that its used..Little did you realize that as soon as a Stainless Steel header heats up (even at idle) it immediately changes color..Mine did at idle in under 30 seconds..Maybe instead of crying about how you got ripped off, maybe you should of politely asked a question..Ken and Bryan are great guys, don't even try to knock their credibility. Peace be the journey -kyle

outonyou, I just got off the phone with Peter at OBX racing. He says there is absolutely no way that the header is used. i told him about the carbon build up and he said that in those cases the header had not been cleaned thoroughly after being on the assembly line. he said that the header is perfectly fine to use and that the carbon buildup will not enter the engine (being that it is on the exhaust side) and installation/fitment will not be affected.

Uhh dude, I don't know about you, but if someone told me they were getting "fucked in the ass" by a vendor from the forum, id consider that as a hit on thier credibility. And how was I never in this?
