OBX also makes headers for the 2nd gens. They are apparently knock offs of the Nismo. Both of those have equal length tubes whereas the JBA doesn't. Discussions on clubfrontier.org talk about all 3.

I have the JBA's for the simple fact that they are 50 state CARB legal. The others arent. As for performance.... i really have no idea. I have way to many mods on my x to tell if they help or not.

When you say larger intake manifold are you asking about manifold spacers? WRPerdigon makes and sells an intake manifold spacer. I think he's a member here. The IMS has received good reviews on clubfrontier.

I'd imagine that the SuperCharger overshadows any other mods!

no one makes a larger intake manifold.. you can port and polish your own intake manifold and gasket match the ports, the then bore out your throttle body...
