Personally, if I had the money, I would still go with Kooks.

Just bought mine!!
Cost me 338.98 delivered, in Canadian funds!
I am now hoping that I dont get screwed in duties when they cross the border.
Has anyone put these it yet?!?!

Weren't the LPP headers manufactured by SSautochrome? I believe the first batch of LPP's actually had an SSAutochrome badge welded onto them. I wonder if that guy got undercut by these guys. I can't remember what his headers cost, and even though they were 321 stainless instead of 304, 300 bucks is really cheap. I guess the only drawback is no y-pipe.

Assuming these OBX headers fit well with at best, minor fitment issues that even Kooks have presented some on the board, why would you want to spend nearly a grand more (with y-pipe) for the Kooks? Im all for American made, but there is a tipping point in todays economy. Kooks is good stuff but overpriced based on competition.

Yes the LPP's were made by SSautochrome and the fitment issues are easy to address without grabbing the BFH. I paid $450 IIRC.

I put a lot of good miles on those things, and they held up perfectly. I'd buy another set of OBX headers in a heartbeat. They're fit and finish were perfect.
I'd gladly spend a few extra dollars for a USA designed and built part, but when it's $500+ difference, there's no way to justify it.

I just got an email regarding my order this morning saying "Since you live in Canada, we will send an additional invoice for the shipping and handling fee"
Then, just got another email saying that I can choose either:
$99.00 for Postal Priority service
or
$208.00 for Express Mail service.
I knew that was gonna happen I just wish they didnt wait till after I paid for the headers to tell me how much shipping was gonna cost.
