    I don't have personal experience with them, but they are copies of the pacesetter headers. the original pacesetters had sealing issues. and IIRC these had some major alignment issues too.

    Here is set of SSAC and hes even including good clamps http://www.grandprixforums.net/fs-sc...ml#post1020539

    Oh and yeah for all the work that needs to be done to get the OBX headers to work they are not worth the pirce they are asking for them, you would be better off getting the ones that are $130 on ebay, from what I understand is the crossover pipe is made wrong and it needs to be cut and rewelded to make it fit correctly.
    Other than buying used ones your best option is pacesetters.

    Holy balls they doubled in price almost. At that rate i'd spend the extra 200 and buy vendor headers honestly. Typically better designed, better clamps, better flex. etc. But anywho..i'll stop posting since this thread wasn't about vendor headers vs ebay headers, and was about OBX headers.

    For the $400-500 for SD's I would buy the Pacesetters and the larger pipes they provide.

    By the way..., yes, I have a set of Ceramic coated Pacesetters, so my judgement is skewed, lol. For what it's worth, they installed fine and if you are worried about leaks, just get the collector welded, done!
