    So who wants to be the guinea pig for these?

    I really couldn't believe it when I saw this but they're ripping off ARH. I'd love to see a review but who has $800 to blow on this. OBX isn't exactly top knotch.

    Nope. F*** ebay and their cheap chinese manufacturers and f*** knockoffs. ARH wasnt even good to begin with.

      Lol. The ARH design is junk. The only thing they have going for them is good build quality— and these undoubtedly lose that.

        These would go nice with some raceland coilovers tho. Just saying.
        Just some old shitty cars.

          Hasn’t this design been proven to be bad at making power unless with very specific modifications? Wasn’t it because the 6:1 collector was bad at scavenging exhaust or something like that?

            Pretty sure there were comments before regarding ARH headers making ~5 whp less than SS headers. So I’m not really sure how that makes them junk. I think Ian also has a personal vendetta for products he doesn’t like.

              the gains ARH are capable of making are debatable, which tbh, is a bad thing for headers that cost this much.

              most egregious imo, was ARH's initial lying, waffling, then backtracking on what brand catalytic converters their headers came with.

              that alone should be the nail in the coffin on whether or not the company can be trusted

                Yes, exactly lol

                Love mine and have zero complaints. Nice deep sound and fantastic dyno results.

                Still, I'd go with a nice euro header set over these Chinese knockoffs

                  With regular eBay headers, when something doesn't line up, like the holes to the head, you can cut and weld. Not this bad boy. You have to buy this with commitment. The O2 sensor placement seems just aweful.

                    A guy I follow on Instagram runs this and it sounds great. Probably the best sounding E46 in my opinion but he also has a complete custom exhaust front to back that a friend of his and him fabbed up. He admits he doesn’t care about hp numbers and that he was going for sound. He had Hassan tune it and has it tuned pretty good from what I seen. I always felt the single manifolds had a unique tone to them.

                      OBX or genuine ones?
