OBX header/dp

Have had OBX headers on several other cars and have really like them for the price. Found a header/dp combo for like 260 or so shipped. Says its for the 2.4, but will it work for us to? Thanks!

Since you've already had obx stuff in the past then you already know about the fitment issues they have. I've heard this header hits coolant lines as it has clearance issues. You should buy from zzp or clearimage instead.

If the OP is willing to pay for the price of the zzp or clearimage header. Plus we had no fitment issues with my ZX2, when we put an OBX header on it.

I just bought an obx header system for my 06 cobalt ss and have major issues.

Rubbed the oxygen sensor against the side and rubbed the wires into and it leaked at the header flange.

Yeah obx is not good at all i had one for my old nissan its was a major pain in the ass to instal and had a huge leak . I had to cut and hack to get it to eventually fit right and i had to put like 3 gaskets on it to stop the leak.

Yikes lol guess its time to save for the zzp header/DP. On a second note, will a header/DP void the powertrain warranty/and or will they give me **** for it?
