Unfortunately; I heard many bad feedbacks about those "OBX" headers..?!?!?!,

"bad quality/quick fade/not straight up to the head surface/Cracked easily/very bad gaskets",,

yeah, i was looking around and saw that too. i had the top speed from texas but didnt like the build quality and returned them. seller on ebay was very good about it and did refund with shipping for me. AAAA++++ seller i rated him for his actions.

it might have been worth it to clean them up a bit and use them. they had a lot of icicles on the inner tube (im not a welding expert but im guessing not enough back-pressure?) and also there was a indent on one pipe, maybe from previous install or from too much torque on pipe during fabrication.

i also see they pop up on the forum every now and then for give away prices. i might just wait for now and see what comes along.

Many risky issues with "OBX" & "Top speed" headers, don't think worth that big headache & unaccepted surprises..!??!
