The >1year OBX SS Header review

Anyone who'se had OBX headers for over a year write down in BOLD/Size 2 at the top of your thread the following: Type of OBX header, Time/miles > 1yr, Cracked?, 0-10 gradescale

and in the message your thoughts. I'll start:

OBX Stainless Steel, 1yr 1mo/12,000, NO, 7

i love the gains and the fact that they didnt crack or anything, but really hate the resonance hence why i didn't give it the 10. I just recently discovered the resonance is actually located where the headers meet the downpipe where fitment is not 100% and you can't really tighten them enought because of how you apply the force. BUT i'm sure if i can tight it hard enought there will no NO RESONANCE!

if nobody participates, i just want to give credit to this OBX headers saying that they've lasted and have no signs on breaking anytime soon and to clarify that it was probably the CERAMIC headers that did crack a lot.

OBX Stainless Steel 4 Months+/5500 miles, NO, 9

bought it used too so probably alot more than that. still has no cracks or leaks on it. it also runs great! i have only a very SLIGHT resonance, hence i gave 9! mine doesnt look like it'll be crapping on me anytime soon either. its definitly not new though, the rust buildup is showing and it looks really old too. i did buy it used. i think it was an awesome investment, i love the gains, i love how it looks, and it was just an awesome deal!

i definitly think that its the ceramic ones that are the ones that cause problems. my SS's are great!
