Moved to correct forum.

OBX is cheaper, RRM is better (in my opinion).

I have the Kamikaze header and i love it. I've had it for about two years now and I've had no problems with it.

i haven't seen this kind of thread in years.. but here is my opinion!!! since lancer's HP is so low, one brand's header can't really compare in horse power. I have had the rrm's header and can't complain!! i never bought OBX but i bet they are all similar!! but when you try to sell your header most people will go for used RRM rather than other brand. RRM"S parts sells faster and keeps it's value too!! but OBX Header is cheaper to begin with... GOOD LUCK

If you want absolute power, go RPW, but there is an absolute price there as well.

Other than that, the others are just about the same. I have not seen a dyno comparison on any of them as compared to each other, so I dont know. I've only seen RPW versus the OBx / Alpha Werks / HP Racing.

RPW gained 9 or 13whp (I forget, it's been a long time) over the HP Racing. I didnt believe it either until I saw the two dyno charts. Low end power was virtually the same.

Come on people, it's header not headers, we only have one. Anyways with the **** stuff out of the way, it doesn't really make a difference unless you simply must have the best there is in which case it's RPW all the way. Don't expect huge gains though, at most you'll get 10 hp and that's on a fully built engine.

13 whp just from a header, that sounds a bit high but I guess anything is possible.

I cannot remember the figure, as it was over 6 years ago. I too did not believe it (it was abnormally high) when he told me, and he showed me the dyno sheets.

I think he might be talking about the 4693 which was in production.
