I'll say this, once you get these two headers in your hand you'll know which one you're holding is the budget header. The coating on the Pacesetters looks fragile at best. There's a couple spots where the coating already rubbed off during shipping. And the welds look like a disaster compared to the OBX. But the performance, that's the question. Check out the collector on the Paces versus the OBX. That's what I'm interested in. Oh, and hopefully these dont bang on my frame. I'll have the paces in on Sunday. To summarize, the OBX you get a $1200 header for $500, the Paces you get a $500 header for $500.

 

(noob Q ) which one is which...??

 

Yea, but what's the point if you can't fit the OBX in your truck.

 

I think it's more an early NBS thing. Nearly every case of hitting the frame I came across was early NBS. Haven't heard of an 03+ having any probs.

 

obx on top Pacesetter on bottom.......

 

OBX is the top and pacesetter is the bottom.

 

Doesn't the OBX have a 2.5" collector and the Pacesetters have a 3"

 

You're not going to be able to tell the difference in performance Should have kept the OBX's

 

They didn't fit, hence my first post.

 

My OBXs are working good. I have had them for almost 2yrs now.
