Headers

[NVRL8TE]

Has anyone used either of these with good success?

Sorry, I know this does not answer your question. Just in case you are not aware, if you are a Registry member there is a good discount for Stainless Works headers while buying made in the USA.

I was also unaware of this. Can anyone share the process of accessing the discount with Stainless Works?

Is there a forum section / post anywhere that lists any other vendors that offer registry discounts for members?

just be aware that stainless works will only sell headers with cats. i went thru the registry and got mine fabbed up last year, 3" all the way back to the resonator. then i had them jet hot coated.

I do not want cats.

I have the Maximizer headers on my 91. Good quality and fit. I had to dimple #1 pipe to clear the steering shaft. I am in the Akron area if you would like to take a look.

I would actually love to!

I recently installed a set of Maximizers on one of my cars and really like them. The quality was better than the last set of SW I bought. As Mr. Blue said, you need to dimple for the steering shaft a bit. You also need to make the little bracket to offset the dipstick tub. I plan to install a few more sets of them in the future.

As a side note, the OBX catback isn't bad either. You need to replace all the clamps, but the build quality is good.

Anyone have pics of the dimpling you had to do? And I?m assuming it?s better to dimple it before having them coated, or does that not really matter?

Hobbes,

There seems to be car to car variation. I installed OBX headers in 2012 or so and did not have to dimple. My 94 has about 1/8? clearance. Not ideal perhaps but I would get it coated, trial fit and dimple if needed and where it?s needed. Ideal would be trial fit prior to sending it out to be coated but this involves extended down time. BTW - I broieve OBX and Maximizer are the same manufacturer and are almost exact copy (except for collector being moved forward a bit to add fake bullet cats) of Stainless works.

Appreciate the feedback! From my research, OBX and Maximizer are indeed the same. OBX headers are just more highly polished.

Very happy with my OBX. Had to dimple them, no issues with the factory clamps. Paul Workman sold me a dipstick bracket. Also had them coated.

[NVRL8TE]

All great info. Thanks!!

Sorry in advance for reviving an old forum.

I just got a set of Maximizer headers but can't find anywhere on the quality of steel. I'm assuming that it is 304 stainless like the OBX but don't want to mount them and then get rust down the line. They feel as if they have a rough high temp paint coating on them because they aren't polished.

If they're 304 stainless then I won't worry about ceramic coat since it's out of my budget now, but if they're not 304, then I'll just save up and wait on install.

[Mr Blue]

Maximizers are stainless with a blasted texture. I had them power coated but it is not required. As I previously stated #1 tube had to be dimpled to clear the steering shaft. Other than that, a good fit.

Good Luck

Hello guys

Does OBX still sells headers? I can't find any online.

[secondchance]

I don?t see any on eBay.

[sleazy rider]

Says Maximizer but looks to be OBX.

[1991 Corvette ZR-1]

That?s a really good price on those. Years ago when I bought them they were 450. Then not long ago I only saw them over 600. Did the OBX business go belly up and they are liquidating?

[Mr Blue]

That looks like a liquidation price. If you want them, now?s the time. Mine were twice that amount. Good luck!

[secondchance]

Other sites I see the Stainlessworks headers at $2,200 or so. Jim and I compared OBX and SW headers side by side. They looked identical except for OBX collector being slightly more forward in order to accommodate fake bullet cat looking piece on OBX. Could it be for visual inspection of emission control in some States?

Wow, I got the Maximizers just in time! With shipping mine were only $289 and they arrived this week. I plan to get them high temp ceramic coated and add 200 or 400 cell cats.
