Anyone have pics of the dimpling you had to do? And I?m assuming it?s better to dimple it before having them coated, or does that not really matter?

There seems to be car to car variation. I installed OBX headers in 2012 or so and did not have to dimple. My 94 has about 1/8? clearance. Not ideal perhaps but I would get it coated, trial fit and dimple if needed and where it?s needed. Ideal would be trial fit prior to sending it out to be coated but this involves extended down time. BTW - I broieve OBX and Maximizer are the same manufacturer and are almost exact copy (except for collector being moved forward a bit to add fake bullet cats) of Stainless works. |

Very happy with my OBX. Had to dimple them, no issues with the factory clamps. Paul Workman sold me a dipstick bracket. Also had them coated.

I just got a set of Maximizer headers but can't find anywhere on the quality of steel. I'm assuming that it is 304 stainless like the OBX but don't want to mount them and then get rust down the line. They feel as if they have a rough high temp paint coating on them because they aren't polished. If they're 304 stainless then I won't worry about ceramic coat since it's out of my budget now, but if they're not 304, then I'll just save up and wait on install. |

Maximizers are stainless with a blasted texture. I had them power coated but it is not required. As I previously stated #1 tube had to be dimpled to clear the steering shaft. Other than that, a good fit.
Good Luck David |

Hello guys
Does OBX still sells headers? I can't find any online.
