Obx header-downpipe

Can anybody tell me if this is a good header for $230. Can you feel the power? The reason i ask is because i want to turbo here in a year or so, but dont want to spend $500 on rrm's, but i still want to get a decent header.

Find someone selling RRM's older downpipe that connects to the stock RA header. Way better deal cashwise, specially if your upgrading to a turbo later.

Thats probably a smart idea but i also want a header to. How about OBX header with RRM downpipe.

obx header comes with the downpipe and if your going turbo dont waste ur money on a header that u wont use. I f u want to get more power make a custom downpipe its cheaper and work fine.

if you plan to go turbo in a year just hang on to that money and put it towards your turbo fund.

as far as buying an old rrm downpipe, you should make sure that it fits your exhaust mani b/c it wont bolt up to some 04 and 05 models(one of the reasons why rrm desided to sell the full header/dp combo)

It's a good idea, thats what I did, later on when you get the turbo you can get an evo turbo manifold and use the flange from the obx headers. Same thing has the RRM, maybe a few horsepower less but who cares.
