how good are the obx headers?

I was thinking about either kooks or jba or even possibly the dynatechs , but then I see several people using this obx header and I can honestly say I dont know anything about this header... How is the fitment and do the welds look pretty clean? Are they similar to the other headers in terms of output? OH i forget to mention this is for LT's

Thanks

I can only say that I and Larry (Aircare84) are both very happy with ours. There are others like Fabre that also have no issues with them. They are 304 SS and the fit is just fine. The best part is they are only $480 shipped!

Thanks for your reply.. They are really starting to get my attention at that price point. Does that price include a catted x pipe or is that off road only?

You get 2 O/R H pipes with the headers. 1 has small resonators, other one is a straight H.

No they won't work with any other h-pipe out there. You must use the ones that come with the OBX system.

But isn't that common with most long tube headers?...

Yes it is. You have to buy the entire package from the manufacturer of your header choice. You can't not mix and match.
