Default obx header question about to buy

They are $389 on fleabay right now.
But they say "mid length".
Anyone know for real? They look like long tubes to me.
Are they stepped 1 3/4 to 1 7/8?

I asked the seller and also asked OBX. I'd like to confirm here for anyone that has them before I order so I don't get scammed.

If I order I will have a full hooker long tube, mufflex y pipe and mufflex 4" cat back with 4" flowmaster for sale.

Thank you!

I'm just about to buy these.
race ones with 3.5 output seems to be a copy of Kooks and these are 1 3/4 , 1 7/8.
You can find some more info on forum. I know people were quite happy with these. Price is very good

Ps. These are full lenght

The only problem I've seen with these is that they leave very little room at the oil filter and might have to run a short filter.

Why are you looking to replace your hooker headers? The only plus about these is that theyre stainless steel. But other than that, id keep the hooker headers if i where you until they started to rust.

Then stainless steel will look a lot better. However, read up on their fitment issues. I bought the OBX ones but never had a chance to install them. Some people have had to "modify" them to fit and others made them fit with no problems.

I had no issues with mine. I do have to run a shorter filter but it's not an issue. Also, plan on buying 12 point header bolts (I went with arp)

Anyone that currently has bought these, are you sure they are stepped 1 3/4 to 1 7/8 and 3.5 collectors. I already have long tubes and only want to upgrade for steps and larger collectors. Thanks
