    The GT definetly looks better. It looks like they took the time to design it.

    I have an OBX header and I hate it!
    1. The ports dont really line up.
    2. Had to fabricate my own gasket, which I have to replace regularly.
    3. Didn't come with bolts, had to buy some.
    4. Not enough clearance for the oil filter. It was actually burning a whole, had to relocate the filter.
    5. The down pipe doesn't line up to the cat (holes for bolts). I had to drill bigger holes in order to fit.
    6. Basically had to drill bigger holes where needed.
    7. It leaks.
    8. DONT BUY OBX!

    I think thats about it.

    I've heard that the ceramic coating from Pacesetter peels off.

    HP Racing makes a header as well.

    pacesetter is crap, hate to dissappoint. they're parts are made using cheaper materials that won't hold up to the abuse that exhausts systems take (ie. the amount of heat)...
