GS Exhaust Headers
Thanx for the info. I was looking into some OBX headers but I was a little skeptical about them because they were on eBay. I started a thread about them before to see if people thought they were good or not.

I wouldnt worry about the headers being on Ebay. If you search around for OBX headers you will find someone that paid like $400 from a company. So for less than $300 you cant go wrong. I sold the Y-pipe for $50 to a buddy of mine so for a little over $200 is a great deal for the increase in HP and TQ.

The cats are gone for one. I remember somewhere that it will add 12hp at the wheels. The price performance ratio is real nice with the headers.

Also, with the Y pipe replacement.. you get rid of the "3rd cat" (Afterburner)

Kane, a header, in and of itself, is only going to make things unappealing if they are thin and have leaks. it's the Cats, resonators and mufflers and pipe size that will determine the sound quality way more than the headers alone.
I think you should get the header, just make sure you get a quality one.
