The OBX are Dynatech copies and around 1/2 the price. I will be fitting a set to the red truck in time. Also gonna wrap them in 'Exhaust Wrap' to try and keep under hood temps down.

OBX for sure. The SS Works & Dynatech's look lovey but work just the same as the OBX, $1400+ is a lump of money.

I will probably just buy the Headers thou as I already have a true duals and don't need the Y pipe.

The smaller hole in the fender on the stock intake creates velocity which creates torque at lower RPM.

I don't have much in mine, just the most common things, intake, exhaust, & tune.

Intake is the Volant enclosed, exhaust is 3" from the Y, Magnaflow #14419 muffler, Y piped to dual 2.5" tailpipes, and a Gryphon programmer with an 89 octane performance tune.

Truck is on 295/60-20 Trail Grapplers on XD Monsters, Rancho Quiklifts & RS9000XL shocks, has 3.73s.

Here is a video I recorded awhile ago, clearly after the intake and the tune update.

With that 89 tune do you run 89 Octane or 93?

That's what I was playing on doing also. Just buy the headers and I was playing on doing my exhaust set up with some high flow cats and true dual pipes, I'm deciding on whether to put an X pipe behind the cats or just straight all the way.

I kind like them seperate but opinions vary.

The headers only seem to have thicker flange material and larger collector bore. This is only what I have read online thou.

I will probably take the cats out and just reduce the collector down to the exhaust tube. Had a good luck under there today, Pretty hard to weld Stainless.

Discovered more problems today. The. 9.75, 3.73 LSD has piled a pinion bearing in my red truck, Looks like Iam gonna have to replace them before anything else Grrrr.

Thanks, I have been researching
