    Hey everyone, was wondering if anyone here has heard of or used OBX or Pacesetter Long Tube headers? If so how is the quality, ease of install, fitment, ect. I seen these on E-bay, the price seems real reasomable compared to the majors, but a little voice keeps telling me Buyer Beware, u get what u pay for, then the voice says PT Barnum was right " There's a sucker born every minute". Appreciate any and all input and advice. Thank You.

    i have an 06 Maxima with HotShot headers, buddy of mine got a 'deal' on OBX off of e-bay:bang: ... fitting and hardware nightmare... and looked as if they were fabbed up in a highschool shop!

    Agreed. Stay away from Pacesetter and OBX type brands. You'll spend an extra $100+ initially, but it will save you in the long run. They're not cheap stainless, they are warrantied, dyno-proven, and come with grade A hardware and gaskets. Go for JBA, BBK, Kooks, Stainless Works.

    X pipe, Cats, and Long tubes for well under $800

    I have yet to hear one complaint about Grenatelli as a company and these headers have a price that can't be beat! I am planning on getting a set, but mine stang is a fair weather car only since I have a Jeep. Can't wait for warm weather and my headers!
