Thought I would post an update after having the OBX on after a year to show how they held up. I've had no leaks and no cracks. The headers themselves are not rusty, but have the typical gold/blue tarnish. The Y pipe and cats look like crap. They are rusting, but still functioning. Looks like the pricing on headers has dropped quite a bit since I bought mine. Think these are about $500-$550 shipped. I still think these aren't a bad deal for the price, but I think I would like to get some 1 7/8" headers.

 

I'm confused on the cats and no cats.

I thought with the obx the "cats" were just resonators?

 

They have both. The cats are more expensive, but they still threw codes in my truck. I think the o2 sensors were too close. I didn't mess with adjusting them and just turned them off.

 

I can't find any pics of the system with no cats. that's what i would prefer.

 

Here is their kits with and without. Product Name - OBX Racing Sports

Price is much cheaper without the cats.

 

Thanks for the update . Your truck runs and sounds awesome .


Salt kills everything , even stainless .

I used to do pipeing for Morton Salt , every 6 months we had to replace a sch80(Xtra heavy wall ) 316 stainless 3" line that carried salt slurry to there process equipment , it would eat right thru , salt is worse than Acid .
It should be illegal to put on the roads !

 

Wow that wot vid is impressive. Looks like your really covering ground

Any hope of dyno or track slips?

 

So are the OBX 3" or 2.5" collector on the 6.2 headers?

 

They are holding up well for cheap headers and I live in the salt spread capital during the winter months. OBX are 2.5" collectors. I'm not sure why they didn't make those larger. Probably tooling costs. I was planning to do some runs, but my mileage is getting up there and I'm starting to have drive train issues. I put the nitrous on it and the 100K+ mileage is not liking it. I did a dyno when i put on my circle D triple disk, but it didn't dyno high. It was at 340 HP, but it was on a Mustang Dynamometer and I guess they typically measure lower than a dynojet. I had the nitrous on it, but i didn't run it. I'm not convinced this tune is as good as my old one. I think it needs tweaked.

 

Did you need 02 extensions or anything?
