Default Got my OBX headers!
Well ups finally came after days of delay.
They look pretty good.
As soon as I get the car out of the shop next week. Dealer is replacing the motor and tranny mounts under warranty.
Here are a few pics I took with my iPhone.

No, they are resonators. Kooks cat pipes will fit though if you want or need cats.

Nice looking headers! It really wakes the car up when you install the long tubes!

Where'd you order them from?

EDIT: Nevermind, I see them on eBay. Listed as "ctsv" rather than "cts-v".

looks great...even tho i overpaid for my used headers and exhaust im happy for the platform that we finally have a cheap quality header option...


Op.. take the proper heat shielding steps to protect that tiny engine bay from these pipes...

I dont Really want to cover these things up with heat wrap.
what would i need to wrap other than the headers to keep them from getting to hot?

I have kooks on the vette think they cost me $1800 back then but for the cheap price
those OBX's look amazing. Someone stated that you can use Kooks catted connection
pipe to those, anyone tired that?

After I saw the first couple sets of these on here I said it sure would be a shame to have to cover up a set of headers that were that purdy.
