Installed my OBX headers...
Hey guys , just thought I'd update this topic. I searched on these headers for a while, and finally purchased a set last week.I know there are better brands available, but I'm on a tight budget and really wanted long tube headers. These are the latest version available
and I was very impressed with them out of the box. They bolted up with heads perfectly, all the holes lined up nice and I reused the original bolts and steel gaskets. The only issue I see is they just touch the bottom of the bellhousing on the drivers side. A little
tweak here and no problem. The 02 sensors in the collectors clear the tunnel plate, and I didn't drill any holes! I will just extend my 02 wiring a bit, then bolt on the rest a little later. I'LL GET SOME PICS UP IN A COUPLE OF HOURS!!!

marty mar, Nice job.
Isn't it a great feeling doing mods like this yourself.
Thanks for posting up your opinions of your new header install.
Be sure to wrap all electrical components on or near the new headers. Extra heat that will be present from the new longtubes that wasn't as pronounced, as the factory stock exhaust.
Curious of how you went about "tweeking the driver's side header touching on the bell?
