I think the obx stuff is pretty good actually, i've read up on another forum that they are exactly the same profile/lift/duration etc as the skunk2 stage 2's.
Also my freind have recently fitted a OBX 4-2-1 header (which looked very good quality) to his h22a and a full mongoose exhaust. We got it dynoed yesterday and he pulled 209.4bhp and 155.6ftlb of torque. It had a very smooth power curve and made good power/torque all over the range.......a 20bhp increase with those mods is not to sniffed at.
Sometimes ppl just turn their noses up at the more reasonably priced things...

obx sucks 3 fat ones. they are worthless. dont ever ever EVER get anything made by obx. i bought camber kits for my car from them. the front were the slidind ball joints, the were mounted on this aluminum block that was about 3 or four inches wide and about 4 to 5 inches long and the damn thing was about 2 inches wide. i would have had to trim off the whole lip around the end of the control arm to get the thing to go in, then the arm probably would have folded up when i lowered the car. i called obx they said sorry budy to bad call the shop were you got them from and buy another kit. luckily the sop was pretty cool and they let me trade for a set of ingals.

The back obx kit was the sliding bolts for the control arm. they went in fine but i took them out a month later cause it didnt trust them and they fell apart in my hand. what the hell is that?

Join Honda-tech, search OBX and enjoy the horror stories you will read about all their crap. OBX certainly proves that you get what you pay for.
