On average, GM uses 900 lbs of American made steel per vehicle from the corporation for which I work. I do not know the amounts of steel that our American competitors supply to GM.

ss/rs-matt, I was very interested in the ARH headers and exhaust system, wanting to keep everything matched and for no drone. But, the OBX price is very appealing. They look great and seem to perform well. I might roll the dice with OBX and the stock exhaust and hope for no drone. Why is it (rhetorical) that the vendors bash them? I have yet to read a thread from OBX owners stating not to buy these headers.
