I suck at keeping it under 3k. I think thinks that why my mpg sucks. Then again my 2.4 auto wasn't a gas sipper either.

OBX headers huh, how do you like them? Most people say they're junk, but most don't even own them.

I know they're not the best quality, but I'm curious to hear your opinion.

Obx Headers..

Truthfully i like them but installing them was a royal pita! I had to install them twice because the crappy mushy gaskets they give you blew out in a couple of days so i. Went to Napa and bought some metal factory style FelPro gaskets and cut them to fit. But other then that i like them and they flow ALOT better then the stock manifolds in the higher rpms. I gave $400.00 shipped for them brand new.
