Default OBX R headers

Hey guys, so I tried looking for a thread on the OBX R headers for my 2010 IS350, but there wasn't really an actual report from people running them. If anyone has them can you let me know how they are before I decide to install them. I just got them for $65 from a private seller, so it was an deal I could not not jump on. Thanks!

I would inspect them for cracks before installing them. Did you ask the seller how he liked them? Ive heard obx is a subsidiary of megan but I dont know how true that is.

I had my exhaust guy check them out and he said they look fine, no cracks or issues on the welding. The seller was from Mexico because im from SoCal so idk where he got them...

Better than stock, but a cheap knock-off of PPE headers. Install and let us know what you think.

You don't hear much because people tend not to use knock-offs for lexus. But if it was a steal, it wouldn't hurt to install them. I had the megan rep headers, bought it as megans but it was decent just too loud for my taste.
