Default Do you have OBX headers?

Do you have OBX headers? Are they good or not? Any problems with the install? Do they have cats? How long have you had them. I have a 93 and I am specifically interested in the 92-95 years.

I do have them,good product for the money.They install from the top,it took me a long weekend to put them on but I have not worked a project like this in 40 years.
You will need good bolts,I used 3/8-1 allen bolts.You will need to rework some tools, a thin wall 5/8 end wrench will need to be ground on a cone shape to install #2 plug ,also cut an allen wrench about 2in. long and install in the correct size 1/4 socket to tighen the headers.Use non-seaze on all bolts to heads[if alumenum]
You will loose your cats, those are not cats they send with the system, so be prepared.the headers are well made,the turn a goldish color but still look good,they really opened up my LT4....good luck

Default All right you guys........

You guys that throw that search bit up all time. Back off! If you read those post they have little if anything to do with what I asked. First: I asked for someone that has them. Second: I asked about install problems Third: I asked about their longevity. The search engine works great if you enter exactly what has been entered before. I frequently use the search engine but when I don't find what I'm looking for I post. If I have an answer to anothers post I answer it or direct to them to a post. Your responses have done nothing to help me with my questions I have. The old saying if you don't have anything good to say don't say anything.
