Re: OBX headers experience
I did not see them in my package. I was figuring on reusing ones from the factory.

And OBX headers in specific all seem to be a ripoff of existing header designs (mostly by American companies). I personally don't think a Kia made here is bad for anyone. But it's not hard to argue that a company that steals intellectual property and sends it off to a country that has an atrocious record for respecting human life for manufacture is one you'd prefer not to buy from.

I do agree with your message. International, balanced trade is a win-win for all parties. Stealing of interllectual right is wrong. Also, their social inequity and political system along with an expansinistic attitude makes China a dangerous country to support not to mention BS water pumps for LT5. |

Re: OBX headers experience
Hey Yun,
I was not trying to second guess your decision to purchase them. I was just trying to answer that guy's question, that a dislike of Chinese imports can be based on something other than redneck xenophobia, or whatever the implication was. You got a great deal on those things, and I'm interested to hear how they fit and work once you get them installed.

I will be meeting w/ the guy w/ C6 ZO6 brakes tomorrow or the day after. If I can verify fitment I might go for this conversion too. Thanks for the heads-up. |

Re: OBX headers experience
They are good! And thank goodness the social do-gooders didn't stop GE from building that factory in China! (not that I suspect for one minute they are fabricating the OBX headers in there). greetings from sunny Spain, Dick
