Re: OBX Headers?
I am thinking about using studs on my headers. But how long of a stud would you guys run?? And would you guys use the original spacers?

Re: OBX Headers?
Thanks to all the guys at BG this year for all of the great ideas on how to spend money on my car. Headers have been on the list for a while. I like the StainlessWorks units, but was pointed at the OBX at BG.
1) How did this install of the OBX work out? 2) It looks like the OBX collectors are slip fit with clamps, I've had problems with leaks trying to clamp SS pipes in the past. 3) Are the StainlessWorks headers fully welded or some assembly required too? Trying to work through that $700 decision. Had a great time at BG in 2012 and want to give special thanks to the FBI, Gordon Killibrew and Mark Haibeck for the fine hospitality for my son and I Friday night. |

Re: OBX Headers?
I had a local shop do my OBX headers and exhaust. He charged me $750 for the install of headers and exhaust. I had him weld some of the non critical joints. I supplied him with Stage 8 bolts. He could not get the retaining clips on. I need to bitch at Stage 8 someday. So far I am pleased I went OBX and not S.W. Saved a ton of dough. I also had the headers ceramic coated by Swaintech. I went with their white lightning coating. It's not the prettiest, but retains a ton of heat, far more pretty coatings. It's all about performance baby. It was at BG, shame we didn't have a chance to hook up, you could have had a good look at it. -Steve
