Default Headers: OBX or Pacesetters?

I need some longtubes for my truck. Im kinda leaning towards OBX bc theyll pass a visual inspection.

Im going supercharged soon and need the best for my setup. I'll be adding a cutout and a quiet muffler so I can hear it when I want.

Any thoughts?

they are both nice, obx has something that looks like cats on them though... i dont know if they are high flow cats or what they are?

pacesetters are very good headers too.


i have always had a thing for hookers though.

I think theyre resonators on the OBX? I just want something that looks like a cat so i can pass visual. We inspect here and the inspector lady that comes around would get bent if I had a new inspection and some long tubes with no cats. LOL.

Can OBX be had anywhere but eBay?

The "cats" on the OBX Y are just resonators as stated above. Fitment on my truck is perfect...... not a single complaint. Add some ARP studs and you've got one sick looking set of headers w/o a single leak or fitmanet prolem. At least that's my experience. Never seen the Pacesetters.

How much are a set of pacesetters with the ORY? OBX can be had in all SS with the Y-pipe for 527 delivered. I couldn't find a better deal anywhere.

Ive heard the OBX headers dont fit well on 4wd trucks. Although pacesetter arent perfect either. Both interfere with the front yoke.

Fit on the 4x4's seem to be hit or miss. Mine was a big miss, but that has been my only problem with them. I think they are a good option for the price. It would be nice if some of the other companies that make quality headers could find a way to drastically come down on their price.
