it won't be shiny for long .... just sent it out to HPC and have their "Extreme" coating put on it to minimize using your engine bay as a heat sink

It cost 200.00 U$ , also afterwards wrapped with thermo tech, the engine bay was getting too hot, now it is cooler than having the original flange , by the way havent dinoed yet, I let you know, but I can say there is a big difference.
The engine runs much softer and cooler, my plan was to wait for the RB header but they took too long so I got this OBX, now if the RB is getting out soon you better wait for that one, RB has exellent performance parts, everybody nows.

The OBX header doesnt have a spot on the flange for the air pump or whatever it is correct?

Yes you are right, I noticed that when It arrived (too late) That little triangle shaped flange is supposed to pull out more air from the combustion chamber, it works fine though for the price it is ok, again wait for RB headers, thank you.

so besides using an oem flange with egr, how is this design any different (or better) than obx or any other equal length, equal diameter, not-tuned-for-siamesed-port header out there?

No offense but I think the wait is a little bit too long.
Most companies has their own version of headers out year(s) ago, working or not.
and those who wants to upgrade probably got them from these companies already.
I wonder if RB gonna sell a lot of them ...

RB is renowned for quality and craftsmanship. Other companies that have released headers have been known to sell questionable performance parts however everything racing beat sells is on point.
