so im plannin on replacing my headers with this OBX header from ebay priced at 135 bucks.. I can't afford the fancy ones yet..plus it's only a replacement header. I asked the seller if it's direct fit, he said yes. No modifications needed. I asked if it's CARB legal and if it will pass smog. He only said yes it will pass smog. Does anyone here uses this brand? I wanna know how good this header is. Any info will be appreciated. Thanks!

It is not carb legal.

Personally I'd save up for a name brand, CARB, proven Header.
Are all DC sports header CARB legal? ...I would get megan racing header, but does it matter if it's only off road header. Can I still use it in the street? Megan racing is the next thing i can afford. But if I can't use them in the streets then i'll just save up for DC. Thanks for the reply too.

Not all Header's made by DC are carb legal. DC also manufactures "full race, track use only" style headers.

yeah... i can't even find a carb legal header anymore. the only ones that were carb legal were DC and they aren't anymore. stick to ITR for cheaper w/ performance & smog related OR good brands(for all motor, expensive forged internal builds... spoon, etc)

keep your stock or ITR. basically, header that can have a heatshield around it(most smog shops won't inspect when they see heat shield) for smog related, then whatever you want when your done with smog until smog season comes again :p
