Man, screw what everyone else is saying... I'd get those headers in a heartbeat if I didn't already have a set!

First of all, the price is not a Buy it Now price so they aren't neccessarily cheap. ALTHOUGH, if that were a Buy it Now price I still wouldn't hesitate to buy them.

Think about it, LS1 F-Bodies have been out for A DECADE. There aren't really any new designs out there. The best designs simply get copied by cheaper companies.

Headers are just friggin pipes with welds, not that expensive to MAKE they are just expensive to DESIGN.

Someone else spends the money to make the design and another company rips it off with a small tweek to make it legal (how do you think we ended up with cheap Pacesetters that are identical to Hookers???).

Now, if it was these headers or a BETTER designed header like QTP then I'd agree but if it is these or Pacesetters/Hookers I'd go with these stainless steel headers in a HEARTBEAT!!!

I agree with you Mark for the most part, but you still have the cost of fabrication and materials to copy that design. Even when Jet Hot and others were copying Hookers (or other's) design, the cost wasn't that much cheaper.

And if your goal is to bolt these on and run, that's another variable to take into consideration.

These are OBX headers-$495

The headers that were posted are different than the OBX headers.
