Default Re: OBX Headers?

I really love my Stainless Works headers but if I was still in the market I would give these a try. The price point is more inline with headers for other cars and they look fairly well made. They may or may not be as good as the others but at least they are a low cost option.

The build quality was excellent and the fit was exact. I have had them on my car for 8000miles with no leaks or issues.
How much for ls1? My c5 needs a set.

Maybe we should all buy inexpensive knockoff parts. And loose all of the suppliers that have been developing and researching parts for us. Be carefull.
My opinion, your opinion may vary.

I agree, I have SW headers. A set of headers for $1,200 is kinda crazy but I guess based on volume sales, we simply have to pay it.

Everybody likes a quality product for less $ but prefer if its made in the good ole USA.

Ya I was going to make a set in the machine shop but when I saw this there just wasn't any way it was worth doing. Even then, any kit I would order from summit or jegs to make a set of headers would have been made overseas and I would have had to fab up some flanges. Oh and they arent mini cats they are just straight though with a little glass pack baffle, they are mainly ment to simulate cats they had the same set up on my ZO6 exhaust I ordered.

Also I just got a nice letter from the Warehouse in California with a notice that the Headers are shipped. Man that wasn't even three hours from the time of purchase, now thats service

Dave,

post a review of them once received if you could.

This is a nice saving for those of us that have a limited budget for parts

Yeap,i agree.

What i would do is cut off those bullets/CATS and weld 3" pipes.
My Jeals cost me a total of $1700 w/shipping and coating.

You can buy these headers modify them and still have money left over to buy a nice exhaust system.

I think somebody should give them dimensions of an X-pipe wonder what they would charge for 3" x-pipe.

Competition is good.
