Default Obx Headers Intalled. VERY PLEASED!

For any of you guys wondering about the OBX headers on ebay I would say GO FOR IT! I had absolutely NO fitment issues whatsoever. People who have had to grind their steering knuckle bolt and k-member I have no idea why unless the 00-02 Camaro's are different than 98-99. I did the total install today in 4 hours. My tip would be on the passenger side take off your coil pack bracket and it will give you all the room you need. Theres no need to take any of that off on the driver side though. The flange bolt holes lined up perfectly to the heads. The only issue I did have was the driver side header was a little tough to get in. But with a little grunt it will go. Personally I would recommend these headers to anybody based on my experience.

If you are curious about the Y pipe stuff though I cant help you there since my car is a true dual.

I just bought a pair for my 98 a couple days ago. They should be in soon. I was curious to your comment on the difference in power and sound?? And did you get a tune recently after the install??

I was looking at those at first. I had some questions to ask them before I bought them. It took them well over a week to get back to me on EBAY. So I tried to just call them. I found like 4 different phone numbers for them. 3 of the numbers had been disconnected and the 4th would do nothing but ring. It scared me off from buying from them. I figured with my luck I would have some problem and I would never be able to get in touch with them to get my problem taken care of. The way I see it is that if they have no customer service number its probably that way for a reason. It just seemed really fly by night to me.

There was like 2 big sellers when I was looking for them. I can understand your skeptisism, I was pretty skeptic about them as well but Im really pleased with them.

I am considering these headers. Any regrets after 5 months? How do you like them? These are in my budget now and it would take me alot longer to save up for more expensive/better ones. Mainly worried about fit ,leaks, and durability. Thank you.

Default still great

Mine are great after a year now and wouldn't change anything. Fitment was great, also I reused my stock gaskets and bolts and still no leaks. I guess it just depends on how rusty they are. Id so go for it. Mine were $480 with a y-pipe with the emission flanges, they lined up perfect too. Good ground clearence too and there stainless!

Thank you Justoyt4u. Still on the fence and doing research. Trying to see what else I can get in stainless for this price range. Heck I might order them next pay day. Thanks again.
