Default OBX lt's

A friend of mine just bought a set. They look very good im impressed. The only thing is, is there is 6 o2 sensor bungs. Are the 2 extra for a wideband or something? Anybody know what size the threads are so we can plug them up? Im guessing there the same as an 02 sensor but im not sure.

The samething happened to him as the other guy on here that posted a review on these headers. Box had huge holes and 1 of the clamps were bent. Nothing was missing though.

UPS blows. Plus japanese/chinese manufacturers do not build boxes with crush strength like that of US manufacturers. They use cheap, weak cardboard that cant take anywhere near as much abuse.

That was me. Most of the boxes I get from UPS are in bad shape. I even had an Alpine amp that I bought off of ebay show up without the box. It was shipped in a box, but by the time it ended up on my porch it was only wraped in bubble wrap with the shipping label that had been cut off of the box taped to it.
Oh and I was missing the bolts for the collectors and I found out they are an odd threaded bolt that you pretty much can't buy anywhere so I had to re-tap the collectors so I could use standard bolts.

Not to mention the headers aren't really packed in the box very well. Just covered in bubble wrap and laid loose in the box. They should be packed in foam or at least packing peanuts or something in there to take up the dead space for them to move around in.

No way they arent. They have a distributor here. But their manufacturing facility is overseas.
