I put OBX on my car last week. The quality was very good and they fit perfect. I did not have to ding the headers or take off the steering knuckle. I could not be more happy with them. Also if you want great customer service to go along with them then call the guys at Lashway Motorsports and buy them from there, Erick and Josh are great to work with and will take good care of you.

Another OBX success story. Still waiting for mine to fall off. lol. I've got a few thousand miles on mine now and zero issues. My car is dropped 2" and I've accidentally banged them pretty hard on a couple speed bumps and still no cracked welds. They have even touched water and didn't melt...haha.

OBX with cats and Magnaflow 3" cat back...the sound is music to my ears.

this gets me really excited, can't wait to do them too

Finally got a video posted up on YouTube. The video doesn't do the sound justice, it's way louder in person. I'm hoping to make a few drive-by videos too.

Thanks for all the info...hopefully I'll have mine next week!!

Just ordered mine...!!

I have the obx lt's and have put about 6k miles on them with no issues at all. I installed mine myself and install was very easy with no modification. I love everything about them. They are really great quality for the money.

Where is everyone ordering from? Where is the best deal? I was looking on ebay.

Yea Ebay seems to have the best deals right now. I saw the 1-7/8 LT T-304 SS headers with HF cats listed for $689 with free shipping. And a few of them have "Best Offer" deals so you can get it shipped for even less. That's the way I went. And you can get the O/R set for around $450 or less.

The car has so much pull right out of the gate, previously it didn't really wake up until 3K RPM, now it's in serious beast mode. Just waiting on my tune tomorrow morning

I know there's a lot of debate about the OBX headers, but I went with them because of the good reviews and the affordability. The guys at my shop loved them and were very impressed. They sound amazing.

Did you throw any codes before the tune?

No codes. But I only drove for one day after the headers were installed before my tune went in. I believe it takes a bit of driving before getting any codes.

I purchased my ceramic coated BBK long tubes w/ mid pipes (i've never been fond of emissions laws

) for 599.99 from Speed Unlimited. They had Chrome lt's/mid pipes for 499.99 and stainless ones for 799.99

(i didn't mean to jack the thread)

I know a lot of the SVT Mustang guys use OBX headers, and one guy I know has 80k miles on his and they just started discoloring. Not bad for the money.

I'm seriously thinking about a set for myself. I also have the FM AT cat-back, and your comments and video have sold me.
