I agree 100% in terms of a turbocharged car, but N/A, I want a linear power band.

4-2-1 header it is, anyone know which brand has an affordable price? i heard the obx 421 header brackets don't align or something according to the part review search. if it's not a big problem to fix, i might be getting that one just because its only about 150 on ebay ...

I found $157 shipped for the stainless steel version.
I agree that midrange is more important than top end for normal use.

My Megan has been on for over a year and it's SS and not wrapped or anything.

Now I'm skeptical.
Is OBX a good brand?

the reviews on this site are a few years back, that's why i'm wondering if obx fixed the fitment issue. i'm not really expecting that much gain since i got a xA, so i would go obx instead of weapon r, save the money and work on something else ;P

well after doing a couple weeks worth of research I think I am going to buy the DME... I like the collector and the quality in the pics I have seen look pretty good... plus I see that it has the threaded holes in the collector etc. so it shouldn't have to be modded at all the fit well... I think the 4-1 with equal length primaries will help this car since I am installing the nitrous anyday now...

I'm on the fence, but every time I hear my Megan header make this annoying whine at 5-6K I want to sell it!

I have an obx header and it didn't align correctly at all. I had to jerry rig it to get it to fit, even then it's still crooked. I definitely would not recommend OBX... Although I did buy it from ebay, so the seller might have sold me an obx header for a RHD car. All know is that the fitment sucks on mine.
