I'm trying to get away with some cheap stainless headers. I've heard OBX headers fit well, but the Y pipe that comes with them does not.

This made me wonder if I could get just the headers and order a ORY pipe from Texas speed and performance if they would match up with out too much adjustment. If that won't work, I thought about ordering a y300350 merge from flowmaster and having an exhaust shop weld in the pipes for a custom y.

Thoughts on either of these setups or the OBX headers (fitment) would be appreciated........It's either this or coated pacesetters with ORY pipe from TSP.....I really want stainless, but I also want good fit, and I'm getting antsy

IDK if the TSP Y pipe will fit those headers, but if your looking for the best fitment possible I would go with the Y merger and have a shop fab up a Y pipe. From my experience on here if you can find a quality exhaust shop there is no beating a custom Y pipe as far as overall fitment. I just just make sure your specific in what you want as far as If you want the Y pipe made in pieces that can come apart or if you want the whole thing welded in a single piece. The only drawback to a custom Y is it will probable cost a little more

if you search ljfirebird i posted a few pics of the obx Y clearance...
i got the headers/y combo and love it, havent scraped yet in about 1k miles and the clearance was great on both.

Well that's good to hear...I might get the whole kit then. Amazon and a couple of the ebay sellers were selling these "headers" for around $500 shipped but nowhere in the description did it say a y pipe or addition pieces were included (but the picture is of the whole kit.)

Hmmmmm that would be nice if it included everything. Otherwise I would think Amazon is overpriced on just the Headers by themselves

I thought I remember them being $500 shipped for the headers and Y pipe from a couple sponsors on here.

That's cheap as hell. If thats it for everything, I'm going to go ahead and get them

Alright I have been google shopping these this morning and here is what I found.....there is a nonsponsered website that is selling obx stainless headers without cats for ~500 (close to amazon's price). In the description on this website, it says this is a "7 piece style header". I have sent them an email. Their part number is H10869s.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

I have a brand new flowmaster merge that needs to be welded into a ypipe if your interested...

Ok thanks I'll keep tha in mind if the y pipe doesn't fit right.

I just put the order in for the full kit including y pipe and resonators for $526 shipped. I ordered from the only company that replied to me today! Lol......looking forward to my first real nodding experience

I'm running the OBX lts with resonators and their ory. I paid around $500 shipped last year from a seller on ebay. Y-pipe did hang super low or atleast it did on mine and a few others that I found out when researching those headers before I bought them. Went to a good local exhaust shop and had it tucked up very nicely and welded together. Cant even see the ory from the side. Fits like a stock ypipe but then again it is only 2-1/2" or 2-3/4" diameter ypipe as compared to most other ls1 ory's which are 3 or 3.5"

Are you serious? Why in the hell would they do that? If I would have known that, I would have went with the pacesetters!

Now I am going to have to step back UP to my 3" magnaflow catback. I mean would 2.5" after header piping cause a lose in power or am I freaking out about nothing?
