Headers for my CL

What would be the best choice as far as headers go?

I'm thinking about getting some OBX racing headers are they pretty good? I heard ceramic can crack pretty easy at high heat.

Need to know if it's a 4 or 6 cylinder to help. I've had these on my watch list for a while now and haven't pulled the trigger as of yet. Ebay, but I got my intake from this company and it was great and all there feedback is good.

aaaaahhh yes, headers on the j30. ive researched this extensively as im doing headers in the winter or spring, the problem is in the fit, one of the mounts is in the way on the rear header and on most brands the "y" is a little off and needs a little bend , a muffler shop will help but it will eat into the savings of the cheaper headers.

these are the ones im getting as they bend them to fit near perfect (you can see the one bend in the back header).
not necessarily from this dealer but definitely the comptech's. not saying O.X.B.'s are bad, ive purchased O.X.B. stuff and am happy with it. i just plan on doing the headers myself and want a good fit to start.

O.X.B.'s like these??? they seem ok (headers not necessarily the seller), checked the negative feed back, again some fitment problems with O.X.B. but not many.
dont know what to tell you, buyer beware. could be the best thing you ever buy for your car, could be the biggest head ache in your life???

Actually it's not a mount, it's the cross brace, the guy that installed mine had to cut a piece of it out to get my headers to fit. He was nice enough to paint it black while he was at it
