Exclamation help me out guys what should i do??? buy or not buy

well i found a guy who is selling obx headers. the real ones not the guy on ebay that is selling the knock off style....

my question is he has a set for the NNBS that does not have the hump on the passenger side. they are the same design as lpp, new dynatecs, and SW.....

my truck is an 04 with a 4.3l....im swapping an 04 6.0l in and i would love to have this set under the hood. they are stainless and come with a y pipe too! they should fit fine rite? theres no difference in the trucks is there? im only 2wd so i dont need to worry about dshaft problems and stuff....

my price through paypal is 500 shipped to my door. ive herd they are good quaulity headers from some peopel and others sed they are ****. im all ready to do my swap this is the only thing i need! lpp has been out of stock for a while now and i keep getting told soon with no real date of when they will be shipping out....

buy or dont buy

Sounds like a deal to me. OBX is getting real popular with the good prices.

Can you PM me a link to where you are getting them?

Make sure you have the correct headers for your system. If I recall, the 6.0L headers were twin pipes to the muffler and the 4.8/5.3L were a merged pipe. You probably need the latter for your truck.

As far as OBX headers, I believe that there are several distributors of the headers in the US, some of the dealers bought out the old style header and are heavily discounting them on ebay while many of the traditional dealers are only selling the new style.
