In addition no headers for the C6 are CARB approved.

Default OBX Headers

I have them on my C-6, they installed very easy they are polished stainless with thick flanges the gaskets are premium, I bought them off the forum on a group buy, I thought they were great till I found out they were made in China, I knew that price was to good to be true, but I ordered them thinking the group buy was why they were so cheap. If I would have known they were chinese before i ordered them and paid for them they would not be on my car.

I really don't care where they are made. What I care about is that they do what they are supposed to do. If they make 30 to the tires, fit well, don't leak, and cost $800 less than comparable stuff, I'll pocket the cash for a cam, pushrods, and valvesprings.

To each his own is the way to sum this up, I would not hesitate to agree that the big 3 charge allot for there headers....but, I didn't pay what I felt was to-high of a price for my AR headers w/cats either. I drive a Corvette and take good care of it along with installing what I find to be the best value per dollar parts on the car when I make my choices/changes.

As for the comment of buying a car with headers or any mods for that matter, I guarantee there are many people out there that would consider what brand of aftermarket parts are on a car and only some that would't.
