OBX Headers

OBX Headers
Well I finally broke down and bought a set of OBX headers from EBay for my 1985. Must say they are very nicely made and are even polished. Have not tried to install them yet but can't beat the price at $399.00. Shipping was a little steep at $75.00, but all in all a good deal. Will keep posted on the install

I just ordered a set for my 95 they will be here monday, $460 plus $40 for shipping . your shipping $ must be not in the lower 48. I am getting them coated for $200.

The $75 shipping for the older models compared to the $40 on the later kinda puts me off. I know for a fact it doesnt cost that much to ship. Still the overall price isnt bad. Keep us posted, I have an '85 as well.

Thats a steal no matter how you look at it.

I would take the hit on the shipping for that price on headers. Sub 500 bucks is pretty much a "take the part and run" kinda thing in my book.
Great deal! Let's see some pics of them before the install!

Complaining about $75 for sub-$500 headers? Kinda hard to believe shipping is much less -- unless you have access to a volume account. Also, kinda hard to believe $399. Really hard to believe no one knows how to contact the seller of a closed auction vs posting here to find a status!

Anyone have any documented dyno results from these headers?
What does an LT1 C4 typically pick up in HP and TQ from headers on an otherwise unmodified car (other than mufflers and the SLP air intake kit.)?
Are the gains from headers on an otherwise unmodified LT1 noticable??

Thats what I want to here, my best time for my 95 is 13.6 without them so maybe I will see a 13.2.
