I guess that you misunderstood the concept of obfsproxy. It is useful
to obfuscate the communication between a client  within a censorship
zone and a tor bridge. The obfsproxy doesn't emulate a HTTP protocol
communication, instead it is designed to look random (and the packets
are encypted). So if you try to run this service over the HTTP port 80
and the packets are random and not looking like a HTTP communication,
it will be more suspicious than running this service over any other port.

I recomend you to read these pages:
