If your exhaust manifold is stock and cracked, then there is a recall for them cracking. You can get it fixed for free at a dealership.

OBX and SSAutochrome are basically copies of each other so it doesn't matter really.

btw, if they do have the recall in UK i recomend you get it EVEN if you really want to put a header on.

Because this way all the bolts will be fresh when you go to take the stock exhaust off, itll be a breeze

why not just go with the Kspec one? i have one and ceramic coated it and no rusting or nothing. if you get OBX, i'd ceramic coat it. every header should be coated due to the rapid heat change.

I've got the OBX 4-2-1 headers and I think they are just fine. Sure they may be a little discolored, but all headers do that to some extent. For the price I would get'em.
