OBX header
 
planning on getting the OBX 4-2-1 header... but i need the MIL emiminator! anyone know where i can get one for cheap?

Rism July-12th-2005 11:13 PM

OBX doesnt make a 4-2-1 they make a 4-1. And mattyp AKA roddimus prmie can hook u up with a MIL eliminator

Send a pm to "Vielster" he makes the MIL eliminator that I got...

Roddimus Prime July-13th-2005 01:25 PM

yup, he makes them, I sell them. I have them in hand and ready to ship for $15shipped. If you're buying the header from Protegegarage.com it's only $12shipped. Let me know if you need one.

Stueck July-13th-2005 07:36 PM

well, there was some on Ebay for quite some time. this is what i am looking at right now:

i think we've about beaten this topic to death but I don't think anyone can justify the extra $200 on the RM header as opposed to the OBX. If it were me (and I've done this), I'd just buy the OBX and MIL and be done with nd save yourself $185 for something else. Check out protegegarage.com and see if Ken has any special pricing on the header right now.

4-1's are better anyway in my opinion. Just get a nice big midpipe.

Stueck July-14th-2005 01:18 AM

sorry guys, im all about torque, and 4-2-1s give more torque, even if it is only 2 - 3 lbs more. im looking for a real nice 4-2-1 and there used to be one on ebay. too bad its gone may check back in a few weeks

Roddimus Prime July-14th-2005 01:24 AM

if you can show me a comparison dyno graph where the $400 4-2-1 made more power than the $200 4-1 I'll gladly give you my blessing. However if you're willing to pay $200 for 2-3lb-ft you'd do better to just give me the cash and I'll clean out all the crap in your car that is dead weight. It would be a bigger improvement.

p.s. the midrange torque difference between the two is only SLIGHTLY distinguishable on a dyno. In the real world you'll never tell the difference.

Roddimus Prime July-14th-2005 01:25 AM

either way you'll need an MIL and I have them on hand if you'd like one just let me know.

Stueck July-18th-2005 01:24 AM

i'll buy one i think this week if i can get my check... what all is dead weight?

Jackelope July-18th-2005 07:34 AM

I still have amy MIL from where I was going to buy an OBX for my LX if anyone wants to take it off my hands...

Phantom Cruiser July-18th-2005 11:40 AM

Had there been a cheaper header for this damn car back when I was shopping for one I would have gotten it...*heavy sigh* you live & learn eh? :rolleyes:
