they are not cats, but resonators instead, yet one could most likely pass a visual inspection with them. they are tempting to me, but i dont think anyone on here has them yet

I'd remove the link or this will get locked. Those are a stainless version of the old FLPs. I'd try them. I gambled and bought the other XS Ebay long tubes. Those OBX look good to me. Everyone bashed the XS ones that never even saw them. They work great.

A pic I stole from someone selling FLPs in the for sale section. FLPs were ceramic coated and came with cats and straight pipes. They were interchangible with out removing the headers or Y pipe. That whole kit was like $1,100. $500 for these stainless ones without cats seems like a good deal.

Who's gonna be the guinny pig?

Everything I have seen from OBX is junk. I have friends that do the import thing, and not one of them are happy with OBX. I went with the XS stainless on my car.

they seem like a great deal, but im going to wait until the xs headers come out with their y pipe to see how much it will cost. either one is a great price for stainless headers

Wow, nice looking header system for the price.
I wouldn't be scared to try them. Look very similar to kooks.

I bought OBX headers for my v6 tiburon, 1. sounded like ****, 2. after 3 days of having them on they started to bang/rub. I know these are for the camaro but after using those headers on my tib f that.
