I have a 2002 TLS and have been with OBX SS headers when they first came out. Other than retightening the bolts every 30k miles, there's really nothing I can complain about. FYI...I have 120k miles on my TLS.

I'm the second owner of my OBX. I have had them for about 30k + miles and there is a small leak on it. I will be taking them out and re weld them and see what happens. I'm not sure how long the owner before me had them. I can't complain about it I only paid around a 100 bucks for them.

You should look into XS headers as well. They are cheaper and have had less issues than the OBX brand

X2. I'll probably take a look into that as soon as I have enough time to get that exhaust and everything else finished.

IIRC, The SSAutoChrome site quotes $350+ ($387?) for the headers. Same ones are on fleabay for $153, shipped, from seller xs_power...the owner of the aforementioned site.

be very careful with xs power (ssautchrome) many people in the DSM community have had issues with their turbos and tubular exhaust manifolds. On the other hand their fmic have been known to handle up to 500 horses and are a good quality. So I guess I'm saying, get the opinion of someone that has personally used them. oh and if you do buy from them, dont buy from their website, buy from their ebay post. It'll be much cheaper.
