elaborate internet hoax? I'm guessing they don't fit would be the only explanation. Sometimes people don't want to post their problems.

Quite a few have purchased and at least 2 have installed them.

Quality of these OBX headers are unbelievable. A good friend who owns both SW and OBX said he was hard pressed to tell the difference. he is in the "metal" industry and the welds on them are excellent.

Hate to say it, but for the $$$$$.... OBX is the way to go.

The car is still at Corey's shop. His statement so far on the headers:
"I'm going to have to do a little tweaking on the headers, but they'll work."

I haven't seen them on a car, but I have seen them next to SW headers and they are identical.

Evan, thanks for the response and please keep us informed on the "tweaking" that was needed.

Will do, can't wait to get the car back. Corey was delayed with some other high priority projects, so he's had it about a month and a half now. Hopefully should be done soon.

I purchased and installed the OBX headers on my 91 with a 94 engine. The headers look exceptional and the installation was trouble free! The clearance to the steering column was too close for my comfort so I made a small dent to the left front tube to increase the clearance... Probably would have been OK but I only wanted to install them once.

I also found a great ceramic coater in Joplin MO who did an excellent job. and George made a dipstick tube that was trick! Loved it!

I will post pictures and details soon.
