Default ISR Long tube headers - any of you guys using/used?

MODS CAN CLOSE IF YOU WANT.
GOING FOR PPE LT




My car is due another remap soon after I'm finished buttoning up the motor with some new c8's in there etc.
Anyway I wondered if anyone is running these and their thoughts.
The price of ppe's over here with the options ticked is quite a lot (yes, excellent quality), around $3k!
So I wondered about these, yes I'm rhd but have been in touch with ISR about that.

Cheers for any insight!

I'm running OBX HR's on my DE. Fitment is ok, passenger side touches starter and driver side is very close to bottom of the car.

I've not compared any photo's of them yet, I know there's a good install thread of the OBX's.
Are they the same brand (new name?) ?

Cheers !

They are Equal Length i measured mine to be sure.

As far as i know OBX is OBX and ISR is ISR.

Not a fan of the neck down on these other than that they look good.

I've got a set on my G35. Install wasnt bad (long tubes on a VQ are a pain in the *** in general, but these were not overly difficult and didnt require any modification)
On my G (300K + VQ35DE) they picked up a fair amount of power over stock headers and test pipes, did a few track days with them and the car sounded/felt good. Havent driven it much lately as I finally ended up popping the motor at the last track day and am in the process of swapping a newer VQ in and also fitting up the new HKS supercharger.

I've seen a pretty popular VQ tuner on instagram/youtube 'Admin Tuning' that has tuned quite a few cars with those headers with good results as well.

Many thanks for your posts guys !
I've decided that I'd like a few more options on the build of them, so I'm going along with PPE, plus I know 100% they'll fit my RHD car here

PPE longtubes or Z1 shorties are the only ones worth the time to install them..

I only want LT, it's just to help the C8's (as mentioned in post 1)
Mind is made up already as above, PPE because I know they fit RHD.

I have read good things of these on Instagram (sigh) like the above poster wrote there is a tuner called Admin Tuniing and he has tuned DE's on them. I am interested but not for the rev up in my car. In the near future for a VQ37 block / HR head all motor hybrid that I want to plan.
