OBX headers with cats

Got them in the mail today. Thanks goes out to Dennis (c5bearsfan) for the super communication and fast shipping. I'll report back when I see how well they bolt up and opinion on sound/performance. I'm just a layman in this area but they look great coming out of the box.

Thanks again, Dennis

Maybe a few hundred bucks I guess. The tune is where you will spend the money though.

yeah I couldnt imagine paying for a tune for just long tubes although it would benefit you. I would only get a tune once you know you are done modding your car.

Great, can't wait to hear how they go on. I was told $450 to install headers is the going rate.

Well, as for cost of install I'm sure to get a decent deal. Ryne at CMS here in So Cal has made me a pretty good offer to install z51 springs & sways, z06 shocks, 3.42 diff, headers and do a full tune. I don't remember the breakdown for just the headers. I could see myself doing more later but given it'll be at least a year and doing gears, a tune is necessary now. I should have it in by end of month so I'll post a thread with the results. I'll be sure to ask if there were any complications.
