Just for the record, i didn't have a single fitment issue with mine. They were the nicest fitting set of headers i've ever installed.

You can buy for $400 on ebay...

I am a little leary of paying that much for anything made in China,esp when they are buying for less than $100 and selling for $400 or more....

When the cheap China stuff comes out,the sellers usually stick it to the new buyers and when the fools are taken,they drop the price ALOT.Check the ricer forums to see what im talking about.Or just google search OBX to see how cheap the stuff is...

Either way,$400 is too much for magnetic SS headers that need to be dented to fit correctly....

Funny, my LPPs were made in NC and aren't magnetic, and didn't need to be hammered to fit.

Theres nothing wrong with these headers. The quality and fit of them is good. I'm sure that even if i went with more expensive headers then i would still have an issue with the steering shaft. I think it depends more on the truck than on the header. Every truck is a little bit different.

These headers fit a lot better than others i have seen.

Quality control in China sucks,thats why some fit very well and others dont...

Regardless,you can buy a full turbo kit for the ls1 cars for around $450-$500 with a turbo,v bands,and alot more tubing than the truck LT's have....same polished ss finish,same tubing size,same company prob making them...$450 really int that good of a deal.When they go for the correct price,$250-$300 plus shipping,I might buy a set...

They should be cheaper than what they are because they are Chineese rip offs of an American design!!

I thought I was taking a chance with fitment due to some reviews. But like I posted before, It was perfect and still have no issues. I'm pretty cheap so money well spent if you ask me.
