I understand but if adding the merge spikes was actually worth some extra hp and didn't cost but like another $50 or so to round out a nice set of headers then they would still only be $450 or so. Id take that all day long vs obx especially because yours have actual reviews by members here. Sing Ding on flebay selling OBX headers that he/ she dosent really know crap about is not what I like to take a chance spending my money on. I tried to buy a set of OBX's for my denali and they couldn't even tell me what size the pipe after the merge in the ypipe was. No Thanks!!!

Ya, its tough to know where to draw the line. We are already higher than the OBX style headers by 50.00 bucks, and I am sure that still hurts us. Unfortunately, the higher we go the closer we get to other competitors. Our goal was to get a cheap header out there with more quality than the OBX style for around the same price.

But, who knows if we can get our pricing down some, we might end-up cranking up quality a bit as well. Will see.

Thanks

Good to know. I will be buying a set of your headers and ypipe either way it goes. It's just food for thought at this point.

Sure, I'll try to remember to this weekend. 4 degrees out this morning. Those headers have kind of just become another box in my basement at this point. Come on spring!!!

These sound like one of the best deals out there I'm definitely going to have to order me a set soon. Good timing for them to come out when I just got my first LS1
