Obx

The Real JayZ · 02-24-2020, 08:23 PM

If your doing it yourself why's it matter? If your answer to every mod equation is wait is there a more proven superior option....? Of course. However I like to hear from people with REAL experience. Also I'm sure most enjoy pioneers, people willing to do things it looks like you're not.

Wait for it.... Wait....

My THIRD 350z before I switched over to PPE for the JDM sexyyy, my OBX were outstanding. I installed and had no issues. But I'm sure you have a intelligent response to counter this so go ahead

PPE is an American company. No "JDM sexyyy" about them whatsoever.

I been following this thread. I'm waiting for it to blow up.

I've installed a couple of sets of OBX headers on different vehicles. They have been hit or miss. They either bolt right up, or you have to fight them.

Yup bc I didn't remember something to the EXACT on a car I owned a decade ago and since have built other cars where my brain retains current info. Again sport thanks for the correction. If you wanna say names and take it back to school yard we can, just put down the keyboard. Everyone is so safe in their internet bubble

Whether to buy real or fake is at one’s prerogative. But, before anyone righteously argue:

Fakes accomplish same goal for a lower price...
Just because it’s fake doesn’t mean it isn’t good....
One is being a smart consumer, etc

Do understand that there won’t be a fake to buy with if there wasn’t an original one, and the consumers that support the original. Innovations cost lots of time, capital, and risk of losing for nothing. There has to be consumers that reward the innovators.

This is not a question of brand loyalty/elitist attitude/quality/performance/blah blah.....this is principle.

The Real JayZ · 02-25-2020, 07:29 AM

Agreed. But for someone with NO experience with them and probably for most NO EXPERIENCE even doing a job like this so best to stay quiet and learn something. Wise man once told me hard to listen when your mouth is open

Rusty · 02-25-2020, 07:34 AM

Installing lth's on the Z is a PITA. The right side takes me about 45 minutes. The left side about 5 hrs and lots of cussing.

Since you want to throw out nuggets of "wisdom", here's 1: "Buy once, cry once."

Go ahead and try them, and good luck with all that, but I never had a concern my Z1 headers wouldn't fit. I bet nobody else on here had the slightest worry their FI headers wouldn't fit. The premium for non-Ebay parts is insurance and peace of mind that your $h!+ will fit.

The Real JayZ · 02-25-2020, 07:36 AM

That's true but no where near as bad as a F body. Never do that again in my life. After 3rd set of headers i got it down pretty good. Not like half the time, just half the curse words/alcohol

You ever install headers in a '71 Mach1 with a 429 NASCAR Boss Hemi? You have to pull the engine out to get the headers in place. Then lower the engine almost down. Then bolt the headers up. Finish lowing the engine down.
