Everything for a LHD GT-S is ****. Your best bet is to find an authentic TRD. Or you can get the Martellus (sp?) from some guys in the Euro. Pacesetter is trash, I had one before. Don't know about OBX.

Do you have a link or part number for the obx header? They sell one 4-1 from ebay about $300ish.

I have a battle garage header and I have had time to install it yet but it looks amazing. The quality in craftsmanship vs the OBX header is so much better in every way. It also comes fully ceramic coated out of the box. Only downside is no egr provision.

Also worth noting that the martelius/bgrs header is mild steel, and will rust. Not a huge deal of you live in the desert, but anywhere else good luck...

guess it's 'supply and (low)demand', eh
doug thorley 3TC quality header back in the day ~$150-170. Not much different that a 4AGE physically
or persuade OBX to improve metal quality. Heck, CXracing via feedback, altererd their cast 4AGE T25 turbo manifold, same $99.
