I don't know, those were the first pair I've installed on a local customer's car / first pair I've ever seen. Didn't know that they looked any different and I wasn't told they were redesigned. The fitment was excellent, the sound was amazing and the dyno results were posted in the VR Tune thread. The VR Tune and the headers were tested together. The customer's car came in with threads showing on his tires so we lost a lot of time ordering tires, mounting and balancing and getting it aligned. By the time we got all that done he was standing there waiting for us to flash the ECU. We got a couple of pulls on it and he had to take the car. So we got the baseline with the intake and catback and then the final dyno with the headers and flash.

That's because OBX copied PPE's design

OBX is said to be a much poorer quality. For the amount of labor it takes to install these, I'd spend the money to only have to do it once.
