Default OBX headers

So I'm toying with the idea of putting a set of headers on my Vette and I've come across quite a few options with varying price ranges. I'm thinking about going with OBX. I've done a search on the forum and only saw one negative comment (about fitment) for them. Is anyone out running them and can you provide feedback, both positive and negative about them. I don't track my car and I'm just looking for a better sound with some performance gain. Thanks.

I've never personally heard of a bad experience with OBX and I know people with them on fbodies, vettes and vipers.

I have them, never had an issue, picked up 42 RWHP and 44 RWTQ
Here's the video from Torq on the Dyno Tune. Fitment was great. Sound is awesome too. I have high flow cats on mine

So, is it ironic if someone in the military buys Chinese headers?

That sound is what I'm looking for and the HP gain will just be icing on the cake. Did you add any coating on your headers to keep the heat down. I've read a few post on this forum where readers say headers have melted wires.
