First thing I thought when I first opened the hood was "Damn, headers are gonna be easypeasy". All that considered and there is no reason to charge over a thousand dollars for a set of headers. Maybe for the Mustang considering the engine bay. But definitely not the Camaro.
Another thing...people are soo quick to compare OBX to Kooks and talk price and quality. Well there are other companies that do not have as many resources as Kooks. And these other companies did not allegedly "borrow" another company's design. They designed a header and did their own costly R&D just like Kooks and ARH. Yet they charge nowhere near the exorbitant prices that Kooks and ARH charge. So what does that tell you? It tells me that someone is taking advantage of the American consumer. I might catch flak for saying these things...but I feel that I have every right to express myself.

You really need to put your hands on each set and pay close attention to the details. Some of those details take more time and material to provide. I've had my hands on them and I would rather go without than to settle.
