OBX Headers

[BrokenCool]

Instead of bringing old threads back from the dead, I was wondering if anyone has any experience with OBX LT headers? Power gains etc?

The lightning owners seems to love em, you can get a set cheap off ebay and they are basically a knock offs of dynatech.

In need of LT so I'm just doing my homework.

Thanks guys :beer:

OP - you're going to find some snobbery on here. If it costs more, it has to be better.

The GT crowd also loves OBX headers, and there have been many very favorable reviews. I'm also interested to hear what others (who have actually bought and installed them) have to say. You probably won't get what you need on this site, though.

i loved my obx headers on my lightning.

however, I dont really like how they run their business. AFCO/Dynatech runs a phenomenal business and all their stuff is made in the U.S....which is worth the extra coin to me

They say you get what you pay for. If it looks solid and you feel good about it then give them a try.

i wouldnt call it snobbery, i would say its about getting the OP th best bang for his buck. i have S/W on my car and dynatechs on my truck...lets just say im happier with the dynatechs. If the OP wants to get these then more power to him.

^like you said I'm looking for the best bang for the buck.

Thx for the link 940 shipped for dynatech is def the best deal that I've seen.

Yes, I also noticed a lot of the GT crowd using them as well.

I think b/c OBX is a knock off of dynatech they do not have R&D costs etc. which is why they are cheaper.

its most likely the material cost.

That what I thought but this thread made me think otherwise.

Cheap is cheap. It's another thing to copy someone elses product.

ive got them on my lightning and i love them, they fit well, the hardware is so/so. i even used the supplied gaskets. theyve been on for over 2 years now with no leaks and no problems. i recommend decent clamps and copper gasket maker for the install.
