I paid under $500 new for mine. With shipping it was about ~$520

Where did you get it?

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?

Bang for the buck. OBX.
Some others may make a little more power.
I think the fitment issues are pretty much the same for all.
OBX made in China.
Rip off of Stainless Works.
I have the OBX and had them ceramic coated.
If the OBX had been just a little cheaper I would have gone for something made in the states. They were a lot cheaper.

Along with Paul's bracket, you'll also need an o2 extension.

Been very happy with my SW long tubes coated and installed almost 10 years ago, photo from last year, they have held up well.
As you can see cats work just fine with LT headers. No issues with fit.

If I'm not mistaken, some of my brackets are being used on some OBX headers. Tell me this: how thick are the flange (s) on the individual exhaust tubes? I'll need to know that in order to answer that for sure.

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.

Paul your dip stick header bracket works and fits perfectly on my OBX headers.

No, OBX headers.
