OBX Headers?

[tpepmeie]

I have one set of equal length headers on the 427. Primary tubes are 2" dia, 28" long. Has to have custom exhaust, nothing out there will bolt up. No idea who made them exactly, but were told they came from the Kim Baker / GM program in the 90's.

I got them from Chris Rinehart about 10 years ago. Not sure where he got them. You can see them in the April HoTB, in the article about the 427.

PS. We need to get together for a beer!

Holy old bump, how are the OBX headers holding up? Is there a long term review?

Great! No complaints.

Mine have been on for 25K miles, 2 years. Zero complaints.

3 weeks and almost 150 miles and they still seem to be holding up.

So it sounds like the quality is decent. About how much power do these headers add?

Along with the proper tune to add fuel, Marc says they add 25+ HP. Not sure I felt a full 25 HP on the butt-dyno, but it's definitely a worthwhile mod.

I did headers, exhaust, and chip upgrade. Went from 311 to 353 RWHP.
