For those that missed out on the GruppeS buy..
You may be interested in some OBX equal length headers.
These provide up to 20bhp.
You will need a remap to make the best of them. Looking for 9 people (+myself)...

OBX is a US brand, they specialise in high power applications, despite the website saying otherwise they do Impreza headers..

(They seem pretty overengineered to me too which is always a good thing :D )

P20spd has used them to great effect at TOTB, and tbh I didnt notice that much of a loss of the flat 4 rumble as he tore up the strip and handling circuit :D :D

Cost is £395 inc VAT + delivery (or collection if possible)
Supplier is: ccsportsimports@btopenworld.com

Any other questions should be directed to the supplier directly..
Turn around from the states is approx two weeks.

The GB price is open for Two weeks from today.. :)

payment is by Cash/Cheque only - No Credit Cards im afraid.
These are problem free to fit, and work well with any turbo combination.

The Gruppe-S buy isn't yet closed - nobody's yet missed out.

I want to keep the flat-four sound for my car, but it's down to personal preference. Good luck with this group buy! :)

the boxer beat is still there to an extent, just not as deep IMO, but then i think that is the case will all headers.

It sounds pretty mental in the cabin when its on full throttle, and high in the rev range is just such a cool sound IMO, i really like it.

I have actually taken the bung out of the hiper exhaust since fitting these, as i like the sound more.

So far i am very impressed with these headers, and i have covered over a 1000miles in nearly 2 weeks.

Edcase 08 August 2003 06:20 PM

Sturge 08 August 2003 11:18 PM

P20SPD 09 August 2003 12:27 PM

they will fit the bugeye, as thats what they were designed for, but they also fit the classic perfectly.

steven

chrome 09 August 2003 01:41 PM

Sturge; please try not to hijack the group buy before its even got started..

p20spd- thanks for that :)There ya go Ed'!!! :D

Edcase 09 August 2003 02:20 PM

and is that a flexible up-pipe i see? :D

Ok put me down for one. :rolleyes:

Steven - have you had your car decibel tested? I dont want to get full decat and headers only to find I wont pass sound tests on most tracks :eek:

Sturge 09 August 2003 04:14 PM

not tryin to hijack anythin mate. Work for BTB exhausts and might be able to convince the boss to do a good price if there was enough demand. Just tryin to be helpful and save u guys some cash, will go and crawl back under my rock if it aint appreciated

P20SPD 09 August 2003 08:27 PM

Ed, no not tested, but i know that Trout has been to Bedford when he had standard headers and 3" downpipe and full HKS. I have the same system except for the headers, and the car is quieter, especially when you have the bung in.

Note, i ran with the bung in on standard headers(ported) all the time, except drag days, or scooby meets, but now the bung is out, and has not been used for 2 weeks.

Hope that helps, but no definitive decible reading.
