Hello, so i bought the rrm magnaflow catback for my RA 2005, havent installed it yet im waitin for the summer, but im looking to buy the obx headers with the downpipe, my question is would you suggest me these headers? Because rrm dont make headers anymore, and if i buy the obx should i buy the rrm high flow cat? Would it sound faspy with the cat or not? Anyone have this setup?

Thx

Personally I'd stay away from obx it's an eBay brand and it's cheap for a nreason those headers will crack.

Check this thread apparently ppl have had good reviews of the obx.
Personally on my past cars I've stayed away but here's the thread

probably like 500$ with downpipe

if i buy the obx header+downpipe and add a rrm high flow cat do you think it will sound raspy or no with the high flow cat?

It will probably sound raspy.

That factory header is actually quite efficient from a performance standpoint. Are you looking for power or just a deep sound? Power gains will be minimal with the OBX header.

A deeper tone can be had by swapping mufflers or doing a catback and don't develop the rasp that headers often give.

I bought the rrm cat back but its not installed yet, you think any of the header will have a raspy sound? My cat back will have a nice sound?

Here is a to a comparison. One car has a Stebro Header back and the other is the RRM header back. Unfortunately the Stebro system is not made any longer. I have the only one.

GUI, open your hood and stare at the exhaust manifold: this car comes stock with an awesome header, why in God's name would you change it out?

Spend the money somewhere else where it will make a difference, like a reflash.

And don't pay no never mind to OttRalliart, those guys play in a different league

Woah stebro sounds so good!

Does a reflash is such a good thing?
Can you explain me a bit why i should reflash?
Im new to this

I will be selling my Stebro carback will bolt up to the stock location FYI. What RalliartN is saying there are better places to spend your money for power. You can make power with an exhaust there are only 2 sections on the exhaust that rob you of power. The downpipe, after the stock header (stock header is actually a very good design) and the cat. Other than those 2 areas its all about sound. Go with a catback it is sound only, you may free up a bit but not enough to actually feel the difference.

The 2 best bang for the buck power adders on a NA (non-turbo) ecu remap, the ecu remap will make the engine more efficient gaining power and the ignition (burn more fuel) the ignition system I am talking about is still under development for this vehicle but search SPDI and you will find some info. Cranswick is the only one on here that tested the system in its early development. There is more development needed before the ignition is ready for this platform.

Back to my exhaust. I am selling it as I have another system. The stebro will go cheap.
