Here is my final help post! These are the 2 headers that I can choose from. This is for 2.0 Duratech
1. OBX Header
2. A header from f2usa
Feedback Please, Thanks!

For Duratec they are all long tube :lol:
Go with OBX! I have one on my Zetec and it is a great quality piece, and still alot cheaper then the other guys (F2 or FocusSport)
My only suggestion is with the money saved get it ceramic coated
I concur, i like the obx headers the best. Wish I spent 1/4 I did and got obx instead of focussport.
OBX all the way. Thats what I'm running, torque all the way up to 7100RPM Threw every gear
obx is what i have. Focus Sport and F2 headers are both good choices but they are a little more money. great piece tho and tonnes of power if you dont mind the noise
I will add that a far better header would be a turbo header :)

Ok sometimes I'll come around and I'll share some torque with ya
lol dont go threatening with your scooby powers! altho, you felt how hard my car was pulling when i took you for a boot in it. duratec's are the bomb man lol
Sadly, both the Scoob and Duratec motors have their roots firmly in WRC... the only downside is that the Duratec doesn't come with a turbo (right now, anyways). :(
Mind you, there are/were quite a few Cosworth guts in the WRC Focus.
That's why the Duratec loves to rev... I loved seeing 7200RPM WOT shifts in my "old" 07 ZX5.
well if you want cheap Chinese metal go with obx. if you want good quality and want to support north american companies go with f2 or fs
I got the OBX and I will stand by it. I actually got rid of my Focus Central 4-2-1 on my Zetec for the OBX. Overall, I like the OBX better. :)
Yes Yes your scubby would eat my car for breakfast lol but for what I got it pulls, and I do plan on gutting her and putting some cosworth balls in it. Also my OBX header was branded with the MADE IN USA on the down pipes. Though it could be like dub wheels and any other rim company where the rims were made in China and chromed in USA. Making it a USA finished product. But I stand with my dicision.

AHAHAH... Cheap metal, Or over priced Cheap metal... tough choice.
OBX FTW.
i heard the F2 header is better because its got smaller primaries compared to the OBX. any clarification on this?
Too bad you live too far from me, I got a brand new f2 header I wanna get rid of. I don't need it since I have the turbo on now and I never got around to installing the f2 header. I got a bunch of things I wanna sell but I don't have a high enough post count to sell on the forums :angry:

Just open a post and do it there but don't put prices shouldn't be a problem.

ya it is a torque step header so the primaries are smaller to start off with and with the theory behind it, suppose to keep low end torque higher, personally i prefer the upper range with my obx. it all depends on your prefence and price point.
