I just ordered some so my fingers are crossed. I've read decent comments on them. On the other hand, LG has a good reputation and someone just showed pics of the horrible quality he received from them. No guarantees in life.

Nice looking setup and a really good price. Wish I were in a position to buy a set as that is one mod I want to eventually do to my car.

Headers are great. Install easy from the top. X-pipe is ok, leaves a little to be desired but if your no looking for all out power its perfectly fine. Overall, nice quality and craftsmanship. For the money, they're hard to beat.

Man you cant lose on the OBX setup. These fools charging 1xxx for their setups is stupid money and they laugh all the way to the bank....if you get a few less hp and save 400 or more...I would say you have done very well and can divert that profit you would have given away to something you can enjoy vs lettin them enjoy such ez money.

They charge $1000 to create economies of scale with their R&D and development costs. A company like OBX comes along and steals their design. They can sell for less because they do not have these expenses. Look at Fisker and Tesla. Tesla basically funded Fisker's whole Kharma through the roadster. Then he turns around and gets the same $500,000,000 in government loans that Tesla did. Do you think Tesla can compete with Fisker on pricing when Tesla already fronted millions of dollars in R&D? Is this to say that OBX is the same as the name brands, no. But this is how the arrived at a product to sell.

I would never run these on the Z, but on the Vert, eh maybe, we'll see. Still better than stock.
I don't know how I feel about drilling the tunnel plate. Proof of no R&D right there
