Maybe I screwed up and its 304 - SW site says 304. Maybe earlier ones were 409 or maybe they have always been 304.
I'll have to stick a magnet on them and see if it sticks, that will tell me.

Okay the headers are in I am going to start measuring and posting the info but I am going to put some pictures up first. They look really good the welds look great and there are no signs of pinholes. All the bolts holes on the flanges match perfectly.

Here are some more.

Must say, those look pretty darn good for the price.

Killer. let us know of fitment. Pretty bad they had to do it in china to get a decent priced unit.

Those look great, good luck with the install.

In response to the OP in post number one. My son is running these on his LS1 Camaro for about 2 years now, No fitment issues and they work well. They were an EBAY buy and They work well for the price IMHO. I for one am glad to see other "options" for our 20 year cars. Geesh guys you complain when nothing is avialable at a high price and then when presented with a possible low cost alternative that doesnt cost a fortune you still complain. I just dont get it?

I don't see anyone complaining bout anything, where did that come from?

If someone has a different opinion now is that considered a complaint? I don't personally complain about the price of anything. The price of consumables is set by what the market is willing to pay.

The fact may be that the overall quality of these parts may be getting better, but it is still a crap shoot when you order. Much like buying a starter, or alternator at ghettozone, while it may have a lifetime warranty, how many times you want to climb under the car and replace it until you get a decent one?

Opinions are just that, and will vary from person to person, based on personal bias and economic situations.

I for one am under the belief that you buy the best product you can afford, and roll with your decision. I also believe that if you have to operate on a shoestring budget where $1200.00 is too much for a set of headers for your super car, then you may have purchased too much car for your wallet, or you don't modify it. These cars are getting old, and cost more to maintain than a run of the mill vette, so if you have to count every dime you have it may not be a good fit for you, imho.

Flame away, call me an ***, but I am a realist. I certainly hope that whoever purchases these obx headers for the zr-1 gets a great product, has zero quality, and/or installment issues.

I concur with Polo-1's Whine post/ my complain post/ whatever label you want to put on it. Im running Jeal coated headers And dont regret the decsion. All im saying here is an alternative for those who dont want to pay $1200. I hope they work out for them. My son's pair work and look great. Your mileage may vary and glad to hear another vendor is supporting the LT5
