Got OBX on my LS1. Fit perfect, look good, very heavy material, etc. No leaks, no rubbing, nothing. I installed them myself without ever having done a LT install. I definitely recommend OBX. They make good stuff fellas, don't shy away from them.

Paid $475 for stainless LTs, hardware, gaskets, two resonators, and stainless Y-pipe.

Its because of the holiday.

I ordered a pair of motorcycle boots Thursday night and the tracking number didn't even register as valid up until tonight.

I would be nicer if someone would install some (unless they are just meant to be living room accessories).

They do look good. Only difference I can see on those vs. the LPP's, is that these dont have the merge collector and everyone knows the merge collector makes at least 30HP. Just kidding. Again they do look good and it will be interesting to see how they fit.

Seriously, I lost count a while back, but a bunch of people supposedly ordered.. I know many said they werent ready to install yet, but please, give us a picture installed. The cute little motor on the stand doesnt count. I want to see these things IN a car, and I dont mean the trunk!

I used to have those headers too. However they didn't clear just about anything after a tubular k member and solid motor mounts. Some coated pacesetters fit just fine after swapping them in though.

Has anyone installed these OBX headers yet?

These do indeed have a merge spike inside of the collector. Mine is very well placed and welded too.

I almost want to install these quick just to give everyone on here an idea of the fitment. The only problem is that I still have to pull my engine apart afterwards for some rebuilding.
