OBX here! 4 to 2 to 1... had it installed a year then took it off to paint it, and wrap it because of my Racing Beat intake. So far so good, and still stays cool.

I have a Brospeed... and crap I could be wrapping it now, that reminds me. It cracked all the way through in 4 or 5 places after I right after got it. I had a local redneck weld it up for $5 and its held up great for two years. If it gets messed up again, I'm definitely going with the racing beat 4-1, but in reality I could use much more flow..
Just another cracka azz cracka with an Old Beat up '97
I have owned both the OBX and the Raceland headers. My first car the OBX header was installed with the new engine so I don't recall any fitment issues, as the motor was not bolted in. when I installed the race land header I had to have someone underneath the car move the transmission out of the way so that the header plans would fit in between the transmission and the body.
I think this is a JDM HKS super somthing or other header. Has all the fancy JASMA plating on it. Saw a HKS one and it looks the same.

Fujitsubo 4-2-1 totally unmodded so it just dropped into my roadster. the finish however was horrid it had clearly seen daily use so I got some 60 grit, some 800 and my polishing kit and spent a day turning it from orange to a decent silver. its still not perfect but it looks the part.

I have a RB on my track car, quality looks good and it pulls hard to redline.
Anyone here with a Cobalt header? Any thoughts or comments?
01+ OEM exhaust manifold. Got rid of the boat anchor 99 stock manifold. Coupled with the OEM Mazdaspeed exhaust quiet most of the time but nice rumble when you get on it. No fitment issues since OEM.

I have an obx header that I had ceramic coated by a local shop. after installing it on my 93 Miata with 94 1.8 motor the header sat firm against the transmission tunnel and made a very loud rattle sound. so I removed motor again used a 2.5 lb hammer and bent the tunnel where it was rubbing and used a socket to put a dimple on the header as well. it now fit perfectly but to remove and install this header the easiest way to do it was to have an engine lift and kinda install header along with motor at same time. Would I recommend this header to anyone. HELL NO. Sorry no pics of it but someday I will pop the hood and take one lol.
i have a racing beat on my 1.6 with a high flow cat and a straight through exhaust. it was loud, backfired a lot and served its purpose. ideally i'd like to sell it off though because i have other plans. it's a nice part that held up great so far. i made sure to use the double layer metal RB gasket when i installed it, and it's probably the only header i'd consider if i were going to build another 1.6.
I'm not running my Fujitsubo with a racing beat race pipe and single exit power pulse muffler. its actually quite tame at idle just a bit lower pitched then stock... until you go over 3500k rpm then its glorious
