Default OBX Long Tube Headers

Eventually someone was going to copy Ripps design and come out with a knock off.



OBX High performance racing headers are made out of pure SUS-304 stainless steel. Dyno tested at low end and top speed to increase horsepower. Precision mandrel-bend to enhance exhaust gas flow. These headers are easy to install. Value-added bolt-on headers for any racing sport performance enthusiast.


Includes all parts shown in pictures below
Dyno tested and proven
Direct bolt-on without modification
16 gauge T-304 stainless steel mandrel bend for ultra fast flow
3/8" CNC machine flanges with TIG and MIG welded construction
Utilizes factory 02 sensor position
Gaskets and hardware included
Lifetime warranty from manufacturer defects

Who wants to give them a try? I put the OBX '09+ Lancer header on my car. It was a copy of the RRM header and it was awesome.

Keep in mind these are catless and they'll be on the loud side. Long tube headers would benefit from a tune to maximize power. You could get the Ripps predator tune and still be at under $1,000.

I'm extremely curious about these, my obx header on my lancer was a solid piece.

True but cats could be added just cut and weld.

Depends the car. My Ralliart is 3" turboback exhaust that is catless and has no cel's after adding an o2 spacer. Every car is going to be different, the JKs I'm not sure perhaps someone can chime in that has the borla catless long tubes.

Yea that would be nice I've seen a lot of cars with fake 02 sensors to send a signal and I don't know if I like that I would really like to get something like this without cats but not if the ses light is going to stay on
