from the pics those sure aren't the Prototype headers, the Prototypes are equal length, those look like comptech clones, but hell if they work for only $500 I'd want them

looks like everybody is about to have headers.
isn't that last pic in the first link of comptech headers
lets see if they fit and how they do at the track.

i don't get it? how do these cost so little? i know it says lifetime warranty but has anyone dealt with these people before? just a bit concerned about what was cut out to reduce the cost so much.

I'm very skeptical since A) it shows Prototypes dyno chart when these are supposed to be from OBX 
B) have we ever heard of OBX or that they were making headers for our cars? C) they try to pass off a pic of comptechs as their header, and D) they claim that making the headers costs much more than $500 so why on earth are they selling them for this cheap

reply from SSAutoChrome, INC
Hello
I would be glad to give you some help on this topic since it looks like people are concerned about being ripped off, and quality concerns.
Here are some exact pictures of the headers:
Here are the specs:
NO DYNO'S YET ( THEY WILL HAVE THEM IN ABOUT 2 WEEKS )
ALL STAINLESS
GASKETS INCLUDED
OBX is becoming the leader in Header Applications
These are high end - Really nice
The price ON Obx's website is $499.00
The price will be going up, but for the next few weeks, until the DYNO comes out, the price is the WEB site price
Let me know if you need more info
We are accepting deposits for shipping on the 15th
Thanks!

i'll get the first set since i'm bone stock. do the dyno and then report back. i think that they might be willing to do better than the 5 bills PLUS shipping. worst case scenario we can get shipping included - it's still half the cost of C/Ts. but i propose that yall hold up till the dyno...it's ur call.
shall i try for the dyno and the groupbuy?

i'm working on 500 shipped...
this guy isn't moving as much as i thought. i think he's selling them this cheap just to get his product out there and is banking on word of mouth to sell his product.
so far i have me and ch1276.
anyone else? 8 more people would be nice

IMO
the obx headers are for real
if you go to the groupbuy page you can see the OBX stamp on the right header bank facing you. you can see the indentions but you have to look closely
the guy who is doing to the groupbuy is lazy fuck
i think he is just slapping all kinds of data that he can find to make the page look interesting. he is just using the prototype racing header dyno and the little pic of the headers are actually the comptech headers.

so are we all working on our own groupbuy?
i'd appreciate my efforts not being subverted. if i was a thief i woulda been called out already. i also did the tail lamp group buy as well...

your eloquence was so appreciated by the retailer that he's considering pulling out of the groupbuy.
the product is new and is being produced now. so he can't have dynos posted just yet. these headers are built to the same specs as the prototypes and CTs and that's why other data was used. now shut ur piehole before u screw the rest of us who aren't so neaderthal so as to bite the hand that feeds us. if u have a question then ask. otherwise keep ur unqualified commentary to yourself...or atleast until the groupbuy is over
remember that this isn't a pay site and anyone can see these posts.

ok, i got an email back from this guy, he told me that they are built the the EXACT specs of the comptech headers so there should be NO fitment problems with an automatic CL-S.....also i dont think we have to organize anything on our own because he already sent me an billpoint invoice for thr 495.00 shipped price.....the invoice is to be paid 1/2 now and 1/2 on shipment..so i dont think we need to organize any type of group....did any of you others get the invoice?? let me know..are you guys paying it yet??? any more solid answers to any questions?? i mean if these bad boys are the same specs as the comptechs, what other questions could there be???
