92-96 OBX Exhaust System
Did a search and all came out was OBX headers.
Anyone with any type of experience with the OBX exhaust system for 92-96 Vettes? It looks like the Corsa and it is stainless steel. |

They are the only people who make LT5 headers for $500 bucks. I guess they fit- one car had a motor mount issue with an off center engine, and somebody else had no trouble.
I think OBX is looking like they are well made out of good metal by people with good fab skills...just so happens those people are in China making $200 a month. I want to know if they design is here or if somebody overseas is doing the whole deal. |

My input is from a C5 stand point but they fit my car great and the stainless has held up great.

My fear is not that they are from China. My fear is if I buy it and it drones louder that Magnaflow I'll have to shove the whole system up my ass.
Thats when I grab my 2 pound BFH and make scramble eggs with anything. Last victim was my last cell phone, it was nothing left. |

I would say that the mufflers you run will be the reason for a drone not the headers. At idle and cruise you should not notice a ton of difference. It's when you use the go peddle hard that the tone will change alot.
