Anyone running OBX headers?
 
Saw a nice set of OBX headers, X-pipe and hi-flo cats, all for about $900 shipped, brand new on E-bay. Has anyone tried these?:cheers:

Do a Google search including using Corvette forum and OBX. You'll find some. Many more though use Texas Speed or XS Power headers for around the same loot.

The last time I saw pictures of the OBX headers, the design had improved and they looked pretty good. I have no idea on how they now fit though.

Previously, they were a poorer design. Small tubes and often the midpipe didn't fit without force. The O2's never cleared the tunnel plate either. So, they got a deserved bad reputation.

I'm running XSPower. The better looking OBX ystem wasn't around when I bought mine.

Thanx. How do you like the XS system?:cheers:

It's been a good system.

Get the newly redesigned Texas speed headers or the XS Power ones before the OBX. Many owners on this site use the TSP and XS with good results. I have the ceramic TSP longtubes and Xpipe and am very happy for what i paid for the setup.
