NOT the BBK's I ordered from ebay!!

[TheGhosty]

I saw someone post some used bbk's on ebay, and the price was a steal. I jumped on it and now after opening the box they are not bbk's!! The ebay title was "bbk headers for camaro 11 rs." Here are a few pictures, they are chrome as you can see from the discoloration. All the welds seem fine so the big question here is WHAT BRAND ARE THESE HEADERS?

[TheGhosty]

The clamps say "pypes" on them but I could not find any pypes brand headers for the v6.

They look like bbk minus the fact u dont have the cats.. I think they are obx..

[rtcat600man]

Those are OBX.

Here are the comparison photos.

Collectors are different between the two brands, and so are the flanges for bolting to the heads.

BBK second photo




Contact the seller and ask for a refund?

Contact EBAY, misrepresentation of product.

arent the obx ones more expensive?

[kjkjr27]

No OBX are about half of what the BBK are, pretty much the diff is just the high flow cats that come with the BBK.

Unsurprising he would label them wrong considering he's trying to sell headers for an appearance package.

Depending on how much you got them for it might not be a bad deal, but I understand the disappointment if you were expecting BBK and got anything else.

Alright so I got these for $350. The welds all look good. Clearly these are not the deal I thought they were. My biggest disappointment is the Bkk's look like they tighten together much better. I don't want any leaks. If you were me what would you do?

I'd definitely return them and get my money back. You can get OBX brand new for 350. You should get a better deal if they were used.

OBX is still a good brand, they catch a bad rep from some users here because they are a "BBK copy" as some say but they give you the same gains. I actually looking to buy some OBX headers, 375 was the best price I could find, so if you got these brand new for the price you still saved money. Some users are running these with no problems at all and once I find a someone who had them in stock online I will purchase too. Make sure you have some o2 extensions. Unless you just want to buy BBKs for the name I would stick with your new OBXs

Thanks for the input man, but these are in good USED condition. It sounds like I should return and buy NEW OBX headers. Any chance you could share the link where you found them cheap. I'll prob order in a week or two when this is all cleared up.

Good luck, but yes you shouldn't have paid more than 250 - 300 with shipping at the very max for those. Sucks he labeled them wrong.
