Default Obx headers?

Has anyone heard of this brand. It's on ebay. Looks cheap imo... lol. But for 350.
What are the chances of missing up my car?

Buy the ppe headers there $1000. No one has bought these headers so you could be the first try them out and let us know.

OBX make knockoff headers but people usually don't have problems with them, popular on LSX powered cars, Mustangs, I think they even make headers for Dodge Vipers, etc

I live about 50min. From the the factory/headquarters.
I know ppe headers are proven good. I've head that the obx exhaust systems are garbage. But everyone has a opinion

I think the best thing I could do is call and ask or go down. If the return policy is good, why not try right.lol

I've seen SC400 guys use them and they eventually cracked.

Yeah I think I might stay away then lol. But I might pick up a pair if I get a ls400 and a daily beater. I just found my evap problem, don't need any check engine lights on now.

u can get a set and reinforce the welds, once u do that then it should be okay for a while.
