Try the search menu, lots of current threads on this subject. Depending on your goals and pocket book read the Hooker Blackheart thread LT vs ST. Some swear by the LT headers but myself and several others went with the ST. As far as the OBX systems I have heard they are a great value but can't comment on the fit. Good luck.

have had them for about 7 years, fit was perfect, quality is great, power was great, just as much power as a set costing 2x as much.
No issues at all with them.

Nothing bad to say but consider what comes with them as some of the additional items needed are expensive such as
02 extensions
tube clamps
hard ware such as fasteners
gaskets
They add up fast $$$$
Good luck

Have you considered Billy Boat Long Tubes? They are under $1K.

I bought the OBX Cat back system from ebay and it included all mounting hardware. Installers said it fit perfectly. Nice sound. I've since installed LG Long tube headers and X pipe, but the OBX mufflers to the tail pipes are still on it. Great combination for sound and power.

The subject was OBX header systems, lol. I actually went on their website, but could not find their header system for an LS3. They listed one for an LS2 (not sure if it's the same as for an LS3), and of course the ones listed on Ebay for the LS7.

I believe they are the same company. Did you look into the Hooker BlackHeart line?
