OBX Headers... just got them in from ebay tonight... Let me start out by stating: 
Click here for a bunch of pix of the OBX setup
Granted, I don't know what I should be expecting but the pipes seem much smaller than what I expected. Primaries measure a tiny 1.5" I.D. - which is really disappointing seeing as the primaries are advertised as 1 3/4"...
The collectors ARE 3", but the far side of the resonators measure 2 5/8"... and it just keeps getting smaller from there.
The next pipe past the resonators connect to the y-pipe which measure 2 7/16" into the welded section of the Y... which measures 2 3/4".
The polishing looks good, welds look fine too.
The collectors on the header and the y-pipe aren't finished very well and that's also got me concerned.
What do y'all think about these headers?

I just placed my Percy's gaskets that measure 1 3/4" I.D. over these primaries at the flange. The header primaries are so small that I can see the O.D. of the primaries INSIDE the I.D. of the Percy's gaskets... UGH.

Actually, I just read the auction on ebay..it says Tube Diameter: 1 3/4 Inch....that would be O.D.....so the 1.5" I.D. is correct...dang, they are kind of expensive to...

I dunno, I spray this thing and I REALLY don't wanna spray into tiny headers.
What a damn bummer.
BTW, they measure 1 1/2" I.D. & 1 11/16" O.D. .... so 1 3/4" O.D. I say BS.
I've got 5 days to notify them that I'm returning them, then I just need to ship them back at my own expense.... but I should get full purchase price back, no restocking fee is listed in their return policy.
