Good deal, or cheap garbage?

Brand name, OBX? I've never heard of it. Do they make RELATIVELY decent stuff?

Are those set of headers worth a measly 300 bucks, when comptech sells them for fucking 1200? Its for my '97 3.0 (ignore my user name).

Welcome to the board.

Hit the search button up top and search on OBX. Tons of information (good and bad) about their headers.

i read that the OBX headers arent CARB certified. thus, making them illegal if i have to pass emissions?

Missouri doesn't even check under the hood and I doubt TN does. OBX headers vs other brands is one of the most popular topics here, do a search.

Welcome, btw.
