    they look good but shipping box was a lil bit beat so it bent one of the pipes so they dont go in like a glove but nothing a lil bending wont fix. they wont go in the coupe because my sister just got a car now i might have to get rid of a car

    Yeah man, these things hang low. You'll have to compromise on your amount of lowering in order to clear these, and I'd still want to run a beefy skid plate.

    Re: OBX header, now what?

    Is a header going to give you enough power to compensate for the weight of a beefy skidplate?

    A turbo with a boom tube cut into the bumper might work. I doubt it would pass any sort of inspection, though, because the exhaust would exit ahead of the passenger compartment.

    Re: OBX header, now what?

    Hmmmmm.... So I have mushroom_toy's old box headers, and I'm thinking if possibly slapping them on the car, getting a torch and some friends and bending them closer to. The oil pan to get better clearance... Cuz I wanna go more low then I am now.... So yea...

    Just typing my thoughts lol

    if they are like the S&S and obx you cant get closer to the pan, I thought the same thing but there is simply no way, if you look at my thread you can see what I mean
