Oh brother. Here we go. The typical LS1tech response: if it's not Pacesetter, or a VERY expensive brand, then it sucks.
Well I have the OBX stainless long tubes + ORY on my 2000 GMC Sierra 5.3L and they're great. The performance was definitely worth the $532 that they cost me (shipped). Ask people who have them. Not people who just read and regurgitate. They might suck on F-body cars. But on my truck they're great.

People have them on their 03-05 Dodge Neons and they say they aren't bad. Fitment could be better, but they flow better than stock. I think they are probably beter on smaller displacement engines.

If you read on LS1tech's sister site, PerformanceTrucks.net, the OBX header is becoming the bargain header of choice - yes, over Pacesetter.
If fitment is your issue and you for some odd reason lack the brains and muscle to make something fit, then yeah, maybe you shouldn't get something you're not sure of. The fitment on an F-body I've never seen, so I won't comment on that. But for performance on my LS-based truck, they are awesome!

Had their stuff on my last car (1.8T VW GTi), had to blowtortch and bend and hammer the downpipe to make it fit. I complained and they said they'd pay for the installation labour, I scanned in the bill and they changed their minds... (probably because it cost more to install than to buy the stupid thing)

Sorry but I find this post rather funny. You own them and they are great for your truck but they were not good enough for your car. So would you recommend them for everyone else's fbody or not?
