Header & X-Pipe System (Question)
Has anybody Bought off of Ebay, OBX Stainless Steel Headers & High Flow Cats and X-Pipe? If so, any problems? Like it's Half the price of KooKs System....

By the way, you get "resonators" with that system not high flow cats...I was considering them myself, but I just got in on the LG Street Group Purchase...no fitment issues and you get all the parts required to install...

They are re distributor not a brand and the quality is hit or miss they are the same product as ss autochrome. Generic knockoffs offs from autozone products.

I think you were the one beating the dead horse with the comments about the headers, despite people having excellent results. Or am I missing something? Because the latest info is they fit as well as any other. And I had them on my Sierra and they were much better than most brands. Clue me in before I order, man. Thanks.

I'm planning on ordering a set... I have searched and haven't found any person yet with any issues getting these exhaust systems to work with their vehicles.

Funny noone shows the name brands rusting or how you have to cut tunnel plates or not even fitting close. Not gonna post names but search around it's out there on the "name brand high dollar"stuff. The obx system has been proven read that thread and decide for yourself on what you want. Me personally I should of jumped on the LG group buy for what 899 shipped. You can't beat that and you can't beat the 600 dollar obx system either. Just do your research and get what you can afford that you think will be a good fit. I wish I had pictures of my old "Bosal/Brospeed header that cracked in half at the welds. I paid $400 for it and it lasted 2 months now compared compare that to my ebay header(forgot the name) that lasted 2 years plus and is on someone else's car running just as strong. If it's cheap it must be garbage right.
