OBX headers

Ok I have a convertible SS and am ready to buy headers. Want to get these on next month as my son is going to start baseball and I won't have very many weekends free. I was considering Texas speed but they are on back order for 6 wks.

Started looking around and came across some obx. I know a lot of you have them. Thoughts? Sound clips? I am going catted either way. Should I hold off for TSP?

Thanks !


Ryan

had them for 2 years and put 17k on them. They still look great. Reuse your factory bolts and buy new gaskets from the dealer.

waiting for TSP is probly better if you need any customer service, but all the bad stuff ive heard about obx headers has been a few years ago and only hearing good stuff since. if tsp headers are made in america i would support them for the minimal price difference

I heard good things about them for this platform. They are stingy with the warranty, so make sure you fill out the warranty card or they will not honor anything.

Go with Dynatech. Support your own state of Indiana. Dynatech are made in Boonville, Indiana. USA. Dynatech's come with everything you need, even have OEM style gaskets that you can use. I've had my headers and cats on for almost 3 years, 33K miles. They are good quality and a wonderful product.

GMTool do you have a video of how your Camaro sounds with the Corsa exhaust and Dynatech headers?

No I don't. But There are some videos out there with other header brands and corsa which I have listened to and they sound pretty close to mine.
There is one in particular that a member on here posted with an L99, kooks headers and an ls3 corsa cat back, it sounds just like mine. I will try to find it and post it tomorrow when I am at home.
