Default what do yall think about these headers?

my friend has an 03 AWD SS and is looking for some headers, he really does not want to do the pacesetters since they dont have flanges.... he said this brand is pretty good and is not a bad deal, I've never heard of them but other than them not being ceramic coated, they look like a good deal...

They seem to be well made for the price. I just wish they would have fit better in my 4x4. I haven't heard others having as much of a problem as I did though. I've had them on for a few months now with out a problem.

Stainless headers for $500 with a catted Y..better than Paceshitters, for the same price! I've never heard anything bad about OBX's, nothing worse than any other brand.

stainless is not going to cut down the engine bay temps . . . . you're better off with the pacesetters. The flanges are dirt cheep, and any exhaust shop can fab something up.

They look nice, but everyone usually ditches the cats any way

After doing a lot of reading on multiple truck forums, the OBX are looking pretty convincing, even compared to the "venerable" Pacesetters. If I were to buy Pacesetters, I'd be buying them from Jet Hot anyway to get the headers coated inside and out, so my price is equivalent to pretty decent SS headers that'll bolt up to my cat-back. While Jet Hot does coat some batches of headers for Pacesetter, they have publically stated Pacesetter chose a lesser quality of coating and to only coat the outside.
