02NBMWS6-are you talking about the shorty headers because they don't seem to make them for 98-99?

Tainted-where can we get XS headers?

my pacesetters are heavily rusted with their ceramic coating after 1yr in Southern CA.

i just installed my obx's last week and they fit like a dream. no casting tab issues, no k member issues, no problems at all really. 2 of the ends of the pipes were out of round and i had to gently taptaptap them with a hammer to make them fit, but it only took an extra 5 minutes. as far as the y pipe, with the donut type gasket on the collector you have a huge range of adjustment to make them fit however you need - make them close or far from the floor. i tucked mine up as far as i could because the car is on sportlines and i'd rather have some rattling then smash it up on a speedbump or something. overall i'm very happy with them. didn't like the sound at first, but i had a leak from trying to re-use the old gaskets for the air tubes. replaced them with new ones and it sounds badass. not a lot of rasp either with the resonators. i'll have videos of it up as soon as this crazy snow melts (almost 80 on monday, now we have snow 4 inches deep, wtf?).
