There have been numerous threads about those headers on this forum and other corvette forums on the web.
It's usually a 50/50 split between people that hate them and guys that love them.

There is a huge thread over on the vette forum about these. After a tune and these headers I think the gain was around 20plus hp and 30 plus torque. most peopel just talk crap cause they have no clue or paid way to much for theirs and need to feel better about the purchase.

I'm really keeping my eye open for a set of headers in a few months. These OBX are not the typical "ebay headers' you hear about, they are a diffrent desing, basically these are a clone of the dynatech's, whic are a LG design. They do have flanges at the collector, but the rest look to be slip fit. You can get them for 600 shipped to your door. The problem is only like 2 people have put these on from CF. Both reported pretty easy installs, and good quality. Had to go buy the hardware etc with the kit, but thats not to big of a deal for almost 1/3 the price of the premium brands, and still being stainless....
I'm a big fan of the ARH headers. Easiest to install, arguably the best gains, arguably the highest quality, and almost all connections are flanged rather than slip fit, which is much better for fighting leaks.
However $600 vs $1500.......
There honestly wont be that big of a damn diffrence on a car between these headers power wise. If there were some more people that tried these headers out and seemd to like em, I'd get em.
I'd try em man.
Just make sure to report back here and on CF too, letting us know how the install went, how they fit, and seal, and all the little details. I think thats why not many people, inluding myself, have bought these yet. Only two people I know of have bought these, albeit, both have been positive reviews about installation, power, etc.
