OBX Header/Exhaust Kit

Has anyone installed one of these Ebay OBX kits on a A6 LS2 C6? Any fitment problems? I have heard that the clamps are worthless.

do a search and you will find a love hate with tem. seems the price is great but the fitment has been an issue. If you have a welder and torch no big deal. Even if the clamps suck the OEM ones can and probably should be reused. Also reuse the exhasut manifold gaskets whichever set you go with. Exhaust unlike some other vette items you get aftermarket it really does pay in the short and long run to go with the best set, American racing or LG are the way to go.

Thanks for the reply, but has any one bought this kit or did the price scare you away?

Thanks! Yes our headers are really good. A recent C6 customer/installer has been bragging about the great fit on them as well. Maybe he will chime in?

If you have any questions contact me direct.

I bought the first run of this kit for the C6, it was sometime in June but I can't quite remember. I had a non performance shop do the install since I wasn't that comfortable back then but this is something I would definitely do on my own now.( I live in a small town so no performance shops around) There were no fitment issues, they bolted right in. The only thing you will need are some O2 extensions. I also had my headers ceramic coated before install, and threw in an LG tunnel plate. Ok so the headers bolt in no problem etc etc, big deal. What really matters is this kit makes the numbers! Take a look at my sig. If you compare my numbers to other Bolt-on cars with the G6X3 cam you will see no difference. After 3000miles of hard track and street use the kit still looks good, and I've had zero issues to this point. Here are a couple pre install photos.
