Default OBX Headers?

I've got a 2003 ecsb and I want to put some headers on it, but I'm not sure what to get. I found the OBX on ebay and my buddy has had them on his Joe Gibbs for about 6 months. I'm just looking for some opinoins!

If you are 4WD don't get the Cal speed LT headers, you will have fitment issues. Or if you don't mind beating the headers a bit to get some clearance then they would work though.

I would try and get OBX or the OBX stainless knockoff headers on ebay. TSP has some headers that fit our trucks but don't come with a Y pipe. Another brand is Pacesetter.

I've been running my OBX headers for about a year now. No issues. Now they don't have that stupid hump on the driver's side for the primary. Been thinking of getting a new set just because of that.

I'm in a 4wd truck. I would have had a bit of an issue with the front driveshaft, but I just off the Y-pipe and put in an X. In order to do this I also had to cut the supports that hold the ORY together. When I got that all done and buttoned up, it gave me the clearance I needed so that the collector didn't hit the front DS yolk.

Being your 2wd Cal-Speed would be the cheapest best bet. Although I am a big fan of the ceramic coated pacesetters!
