OBX headers

i have searched, and read many different opinions on them.

overall, how did they fit? they are going on a 2003 Z71 with the 5.3

i read where some say they fir with no problems while others had issues hitting the frame or driveshaft.

how hard to install? it will just be in my garage, no lift. how long? 2 hours?

i already ordered a set off ebay, should be hear next week. got some fiberglass heat sleeve fro the wires (make it where i work). any other issues? overall build quality?

Not trying to be a wise *** but, try a search on OBX. This has been discussed many times. You should be able to find what you need.

Build quality of them has been good other than the fitment problems. Install isn't hard other than dealing with the fitment problems. You just need some ramps so you have room to go in through the bottom. It is also easier to get to the bolts if your remove the inner fender wells. Make sure if they are even close to touching the frame probably on the passenger side that you deal with that the first time or you will be taking them off to alleviate the annoying noise of it rattling on the frame. They are nice for the price I just hope yours fit past the front driveshaft better than mine.

You just got a sweet set of headers I love mine awesome set of stainless headers for our trucks at a great price!

Maybe some custom fit LS1 MSD wires and new iridium plugs while you are at it so everything is fresh when you are done and you wont have to bother changing the plugs for a while IMO.
