The friend who installed the headers does a lot of these and even custom builds headers and was pretty much impressed with these, especially for the price.
That's normal when you plug the rears w/out tuning them out

I ordered a OBX header package today. I have read all the posts and have a few questions. The how to on LS1tech says to remove the alternator and take the driver side stock header out from the bottom is this the same method to use with the obx item.
Secondly does anyone have a picture of what the hole cut it the tunel plate cover looks like.
I have to get everything ready ahead of time as my use of a lift is for a very limited time.
I have to find a plug for the rear o2 sensors and a plug/plate for the AIR tube as I don't plan to hook them up. Any idea where I can buy these things on-line?
Oh one more thing obx says they include a head to header gasket is it worth using or should I purchase one form GM?
Thanks,
JayB
