A. Headers offer substantial power gains. Expect at least .3 to .5 off your 1/4 with any system.

B. Check out the reviews section, There are reviews for both the Borla Header, as well as the already available Equal-length unit from tech works engineering.

All in all if money is of no object an equal length setup is the way to go. If time is no object it is probably better to wait since COBB tests all its parts together. If both time and money are important you won't be displeased with the Borlas they offer an impressive warranty and substantial power. The tech works unit is your soultion to an equal length setup without the wait for cobb.

go check these guys out. they have two varieties of = length headers. one kit i was looking at was a FULL system for about $700- =length headers (1.625" primary tubes with nice collectors @ 2.5" the rest of the way back) then you get a high flow cat with o2 sensor mounts, stainless mid-pipe and your choice of muffler all with stock mounting positions- cant beat a full kit like that for under $700 seeing as how the Cobb and Borla (Borla headers are NOT equal length) cat systems are upwards of $500 for that alone. you may not want to ditch you cobb system although I would to have a matching kit but they say their systems are designed to work with stock systems AND aftermarket alike so browse around and give them a call to see what you can get.

PS- they also have even biger "high output" =length headers for the 2.5 (1.75" tubes to a 2.5" collector)

 

Hi guys,

1) If the my eventual upgrade path included a Ludespeed Stage II turbo kit, which header should I buy now for my n/a 98 OBS 2.2? Does it even matter?

2) Anybody have any experience passing emissions with a header? I live in no-testing area now, but I'm planning to move soon and don't want to have emissions probs.

Thanks!
