Default Headers!

Okay, I was debating to get a Nismo cat-back exhaust system or headers first. But my question is, which ones to with, It's between OBX and Hotshot. They both seem to do the same exact thing, except OBX is literally half the price. Does anyone have an opinion on this?

The two headers are basically identical and have the the same gains. I would go with the OBX and put the extra money torwards the c/b.

From looking around at other sites here and there, it appears it takes about 9 hours. I think it's really the back that's time consuming, front should take 2 hours or so. That's just what I've heard, which was enough for me, I mean, I know the headers add good hp and torque for the money, but that's a lot of time. I'm gonna go with the exhaust 1st which is an easy install. Nismo or Greddy?????

Hey idk if you bought the headers yet but id be careful with the obx I was looking at obx for my 2.5 because it was cheaper but on second look they don't have the 02 sensor holes in the right place so i would've had to extend one of the 02 sensors

9 hours? do you have a lift you can use? for my header i think it took like an hr tops maybe and the only problem with changing the exhaust was that I had to heat up the bolts but that didnt take that long either
