Just got done installing an OBX header on my buddys 07 zx3. Installation was not hard at all. Much easier with a lift down at our body shop. On the factory manifold there were 3 sensors, all 3 plugs going to the same location all next to each other. I believe the colors were gray, blue, dark gray. When I dropped in the OBX, there was only one spot for a sensor. and it was way down at the bottom past where the cat used to be. And plugged into that one was the dark gray sensor plug. (If your looking at all 3 of the sensors where they plug into, it was the one on the right with the blue plug in the middle)....So I just used the dark gray sensor in that spot but did not hook up the other 2 as there were no spot to put them on that header...Did I do this correct? Obviously, he is gonna need a tune for the new header/exhaust/intake.
As for the OBX header itself, just looking at it, it appears to be very high quality, not to mention VERY SHARP looking, polished stainless steel...good quality welds, nice thick flanges. Lines up good with mounting brackets off the block. Only thing I would like to mention..it included two flex pipes, supposively one for manual and one for automatic. It just seemed that compared to the stock flex, one was a bit longer and the other was a bit shorter than the stock, but I got it put together and everything tightened up good. I ended up using the longer flex pipe of the 2 they sent...
I believe my buddy paid $220 for this piece plus like ten shipping...all I can say is....IM ORDERING ONE FOR MY ST!!!
Just thought I would voice my opinion on the OBX header as I know there were some ???'s about it...Hope this helps people!!!
