Charlie will get back to you. He's busy and in the process of training people to work with customers. I think he said novemeber., Anyways, he'll get back to you eventually.

Hirdle - Those headers look amazing. I especially like the fact that it uses flanges to connect to the Y. Why are those not more popular?

ugh i need to do something about my pacesetters too. they're rusting after 2 winters (soon to be a 3rd), especially bad on the under side of the collectors. the only bad thing about the OBX, in my opinion, is the one primary that goes up, then down, on the driver's side. i hate that look.

U got me....... For the same reason maybe that people install 228/232 camshafts in a 5.3L or run a walbro fuel pump on a 4.8L with a LS6 cam? Maybe people just don't know any better? They're a fantastic header and I have no intention of changing them out, not ever. Look how thick the flanges are that go up to the exhaust side of the head. I'm telling you, they are like a $1,000 set of headers. I'd highly recommend them

It doesn't look bad actually, you can barely tell it's there especially with the 3 piece engine covers. As far as the plug wires that rub, 2 zip ties fix it perfectly and they're so small you can't even see them. 2 zip ties are a good sacrafice for the quality of these headers.
