Best headers on the market. I ran them for 4yrs, just recently sold them. In favor of my first luv (pro chamber) But now that I'm cammed I'm thinking seriously about a set of tuned length shortys.
But the OBX are the real deal.
Wonder if it's the same dude that bought mine, I gave him the 02 extenders as well plus two H-pipes.

These headers are from China, but no point in paying more cash for a so called "good name". OBX is proven on these cars

Yea no doubt. That's good to know though. I live in Florida so rust isn't really a problem unless you're near the beach. So hopefully I'll be good

Those OBX headers are very tempting - it's hard to find many options with a catted H midpipe, most on the market seem to be X pipes. It's just too bad that they are made by a shady company. I'm a while away from headers but when I get some I'll consider these.

When I was doing some research one guy said he had rubbing against the steering column until he added poly motor mounts so keep an eye out for that

Yes, the motor mounts are a must!
Also I live in TEXAS an the faux (hollow) cats are a big plus for our visual inspection.
You'll be pleased w/ the quality, and I'm certain that ALL stainless headers turn purplish at one point. No big deal.

Oh those are indeed hollow? that explains the cost then. I have HF cats on my current H that could be cut and welded in but that adds cost and sacrifices a part I'd otherwise be able to sell so they aren't as good a deal at full price.
