obx headers just installed pic

yup after having them in a box for about 9 months i finally installed them for those of you with the obx did they change color after you installed them and is it normal? they look great it just concerns me. also have they ever cracked? or shrunk in diameter? i can definitely feel/hear the power coming out of them and it feels great i thought my speedometer was broken its not just not used to the power (that and i over exaggerate when it comes to my car ) any info is welcome and how to maintain is awesome next is tires for it then maybe a supercharger

note: they are supposed to be ss color not this color but i dont mind

They do look nice and for $310(current ebay price with shipping) its not a bad deal. What worries me from the OBX header & dp is the quality on the long run and the dimensions of the tubing.

Im pretty sure some people here on the boards have the OBX combo on their RA's

the changing color is normal. they're not coated i dont believe so you'll have to watch out for rust down the road

I have had mine on for 3 years without a problem. They aren't rusting, the only issue I had was the downpipe with the hangars. I had a friend that does welding look at the weld job and he said it was horrible haha. Eventually they broke and created a hole >_< But the headers are in decent shape, I have mine heat wrapped and they still are shiny underneath actually. Some people have stated not to wrap them due to them cracking, maybe I got lucky.

yes this might be true idk besides the raspy "i need a resonator sound"
it sounds nice and deep. it actually made the car more quiet but deeper w/o the honda status it will sound great i also have an obx muffler btw.
i'll see if i can post a vid tomorrow on sound w/o reving....or just mild rev
