What's better Whifbitz 1st decat or obx header for n/a

[Suprakeith]

Just trying to find opinions on what's better for the n/a either Whifbitz 1st decat pipe or the obx header? Have already got the Whifbitz 1st decat fitted to car and it's fine but got a mate selling a new obx header as if it's better option over the Whifbitz then will get the obx one.

Thanks in advance for help and opinions

Erm... isn't a 'header' American for an exhaust manifold? In which case, the two items are different things.

Yes header is American for exhaust manifold and the Whifbitz 1st decat pipe includes 80% of exhaust manifold only keep the two small 3 branch manifold parts that comes from the head and they join the Whifbitz decat pipe

I'd go with a Xerd/MVP header.

Have one on mine- love it!

Stock manifold with whifbitz decat pipe will be more durable the gains to be had I imagine are only noise increase with the obx

That's what I was thinking if honest as no point paying for the obx and swapping it all over just for more noise, unless and performance gains will stick to the Whifbitz I got fitted at moment

Chances are the OBX manifold won't fit without some sort of modification to it.

 

I bought one of Nic's manifolds for my NA when I first started hunting for more performance. I went to fit it but it wouldn't clear the engine mount bracket bolted to the block.

 

Instead of hammering a pipe to half its original bore (which a lot of people do to gain clearance) I fabricated a different engine mount bracket out of some heavy steel plate I had lying around.

 

Then when I went to sell the manifold I supplied the bracket along with it to guarantee fitment to the new buyer's engine.

Im sure this is the case
