Thanks for the input guys, as I can see the OBX doesn't have such a bad reputation.

Paul, you think you would still be able to build that custom bracket if I buy an OBX?
Before I bought my OBX, I had an opportunity to look at Corsa and OBX headers side by side before being installed in cars. Primary tube, angle of bends, stacking were all identical. Only difference was OBX primaries are about 4-5" shorter allowing OBX to add a pair of bullet cat looking pieces most likely so that, if elected, purchaser can easily add a pair of cats. This also moves O2 sensor bungs negating a need to extend O2 sensor connectors. There was no quality difference. Shorter primaries may theoretically reduce hp gain but I'm not convinced this to be a serious compromise.
