Fits my '98 BK, I believe '99s have the phase I DOHC 2.5 also, so it should fit yours too.

I also paid around $300.00-ish so, price seems ok to me at least.

Phase I or phase II, it'll fit.

Just realize that that bulgey pipe section is not a cat. If you install the OBX, you will not be running a cat anymore.

Yep, you'll get a PO420 Main Cat Inefficiency code... and depending on where you live it may be illegal to run on the street catless.

sybir has this setup on his wagon.

You can easily buy a universal cat off ebay and have a shop weld it in whre the resonator is on the OBX header. :)

So if I weld in a cat in place of the OBX resonator, this will correct my P0420 code correct?

Correct. If you get a high flow cat, you may also need to get an O2 bung extender.

Sweet! I picked up my OBX headers today and they are so shiny.. brand spanking new for $300.

Now I just need a Stromung cat pipe and the rest of my exhaust :oops:

NO. DO NOT BUY THE STROMUNG CAT PIPE IT WILL NOT FIT THE OBX HEADERS. (not to mention its completely overpriced IMO).

The OBX uses its own cat section replacement that people have been saying to weld a cat in there in place of resonator.
