This means your selling your O/R H from pypes if you buy this full exhaust?? I may have to buy that off you since your right over by me. Ill even pay you a lil extra if you want to help me install it.

Those are some good ones.
Maybe check around on Ebay, I just bought some titanium ceramic coated ones with the O/R H-pipe for cheap. $510

If I decide on headers, you got 1st dibs on the mid pipe... If you help with the header install, I will help with the mid pipe install haha

Another question I have been pondering...

Since I already have an O/R pipe, will I still notice a decent increase in power HP/TQ? I realize that most of the gains advertised are going from a stock setup to the LT's, which is why I am wondering if it will still be worth it?

Has anyone here used these OBX racing headers found on ebay???

They claim to be using pure 304 stainless steel, and come with an O/R H pipe and a Catted H pipe all for around $510 shipped!!!!

Im skeptical, but read that other people were using them on other forums

I have heard of OBX i think, but never heard weather they were good or not? Why not just go with Kooks or JBA?

Price.... $800 to $1400 for name brand

I was intrigued by the fact that OBX uses a higher grade steel than the JBA headers I was looking at. Also they come with both Mid pipes, just in case I decide to go catted in the future...

Im just curious because they are so cheap, and claim to be of such quality. If one can save $500 and get a similar result, then you must ask how much more of a gain will $500 bring me? I think $500 is worth more than 2-3 HP, you know?

But only if you hurt yourself during the install. No pain = no gain.

still even after researching haven't found any negative responses from people after they had them installed.

The only negative reports are people skeptical to them before the purchase, but from all those that own them, positive so far...

I just wonder if they are tuned or equal length, thats the only thing holding me back at the moment. The research continues!
