I have Turbo XS and recommend them, but I had Racing Beat on my natural aspirated FC and loved them. Just order some brass exhaust nuts and you’re set.

OBX Racing. The fit sucked. Had to cut some of the bottom exhaust flange and elongate the holes in the collector. But, they have been working well with no issues for over three years. Not bad for $165 shipped new.

Had OBX on my FC at first, the flange was off and it kept leaking exhaust, so I switched to the Racing Beat. Not sure about the one for the RX8 though.

OBX header with mid pipe. Fit like a dream. Have had them for 3 years now no weld cracks or hot spots.

Just a tip… buy an OEM header gasket, all the others I’ve tried are garbage.
