Default OBX headers

So is there anyone on here that bought OBX headers and regretted it? If so what were the major problems.

There really isn't anything to regret on those headers. You have the minor 02 sensor issue and air tubes/dipstick modifications if you're not 01+, but they perform and make the exhaust sound deeper.

looks like a nice header, I passed and decided not to buy a product from a country(china) that is hurting our economy. I went with the Texas Speed headers, and their LT length is 1 inch longer than the LG's, producing great power. For $100 more, and the best customer service I have seen, and you don't have to buy a product that is built in China Not knocking the China headers, but I would spend the extra 100-150 bucks and get a nice header with a shop that will correct any issues within a minutes notice!

I hear ya, and this post could esaily end up in the political section. Being that I work in the automotive industry, we get so much from that God forsaken part of the world that if we boycotted them, it would practically shut down my business, sad huh. But things are looking up, with the wonderful administration we have now, Im sure taxes will go down and bring some of those chinese jobs back here.....

True.

I'm surprised people still bring this China stuff up.

I recently sold a Tigershark fascia which of course comes with two Euro tails. Guess where they're made I wasn't aware of that myself until then.

OP those headers are as good as any. It's just metal. Tons of us have them and can promise you they are good quality and not thin POS headers.
