Anyone tried OBX Racing Header?
I'm in the market of TSX Header right now. I know Comptech is the best and DC has quality problems? Does anyone of you heard of OBX Racing Header for TSX? Anyone has tried it and please post your comment/experience w/ it.

Never tried the tsx header but I had the obx header for my accord v6. I got decent gains but the fitment was a big issue. The obx header was basically a ripoff of the comptech header but at less than 1/3 the cost.

Is it a ripoff of the Comptech or DC as others mentioned, wondering how's the OBX quality? I'm asking a store to do it for me, so I guess fitment issue should be fine.

I think he said that the bolts on the exhaust manifold didn't even line up with the holes on the header.

After reading the ToV review of the Comptech Header, I just paid the additional cash so I would not worry about DC issues. The Header install was not that difficult, but I would rather not have to remove for a warranty issue.

I think the comptech header is the best fit wise and quality but it is a bit pricy 570 usd. I heard that DC is coming out with new full stainless steel header though for the tsx, i've only heard that the DC ceremic header had quality issues (cracking), anyone know anything bout the new DC stainless steel header, good/ bad?
