awesome. i'm assuming i can but i'm a little nervous to drive with the crack. i dont see why it wouldnt hold, but i think it happened while doing some hard accelerating onto the high/ drifting a few corners. obv i'd go easy on it, but im driving my back-up jeep right now.

seeing that if i buy direct from OBX they're $600+, i just emailed Racing Parts Depot to ask if the headers are authentic

^^^^they're replicas, if you want authentic then buy the authentic jpp performance headers.

You will gain a little but depends what you have. What type of cat and what type of muffler do you have?

I have a custom cat-back 2.5 piping with a straight thru muffler. Cat is stock.

Does anyone know where I can buy an OBX set that's IN STOCK????

^same sh!t greg, JPP is just heat coated. To reduce the temperatures of heat from the manifolds. OBX is an exact replica. for half the price, usually when they crack like that is movement of engine. are your motor mounts good?

i've been trying to contact them for two days, sent a email and they told me that they're on back order for 8 weeks, talked to another company and they said they have no idea when they'll be in stock but they would be happy to take my money and ship them out once they're in, f*ck that. they guy told me that even obx wont give them a date, im calling bs on them. this wasnt racing depot btw.

not entirely sure if they're good. car had 150K on it so i was gonna replace them at the same time but im having trouble finding aftermarket mounts(havent looked that hard lol)

is there a specific way to tell if they're good or bad?
