You are giving out some misinformation here.....OBX headers are different than the links you are posting here....The links you posted are for the headers from "POWERBOOST", the OBX headers are from a DIFFERENT seller & are made of a different stainless & come with resonators unlike the links posted
OBX: https://ls1tech.com/forums/showthrea...ht=obx+headers
https://ls1tech.com/forums/showthrea...ht=obx+headers
POWERBOOST: https://ls1tech.com/forums/showthrea...t=ebay+headers
As you can see they aren't even close to being the same

Someone got the OBX but several of us have the XS headers. I cant say much about them thanks to ls1tech's wonderful policy that I can't give out any info unless its from a sponsor. With that being said, my XS ehaders fit awesome, from what I have seen only 1 person is having a problem but hasnt cut off the tab on the block so that may have been it. they dont have a Y-pipe out yet but the Jet Hot one works and is the only noe that works and wsstore has it for 225 shipped. If you want more info on the XS headers i'll post a link to my thread with pics on them

Exclamation obx header install.

I am running those headers with their y pipe and hollowed out cats. I am also running the slp catback loudmouth 2. I just installed them and my car seems to be missing. It backfires sometimes to. I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem. No codes have came up on my car yet. all o2 sensors are hooked up as well as the egr valve. Headers look very nice and clearence is not a problem. just wish i could figure out why the car is running so hot. I heard that these cars take time to relearn after mods have been done. Maybe thats the problem. Any suggestions will help. thanks.

found out the problem. I replaced the spark plugs with ngk TR55's and the car runs hard now. Set the gap right at 60. The weird thing was i checked all the stock plugs and none of them seemed to be cracked at all. The car has 42k on it. Car never threw any codes for the plugs though. as for the obx headers and kit, the install isn't to hard and the headers look darn good. I've put about 300 miles on the car including some racing and headers still look very nice. Hope this helps for anybody getting ready to do a header install.

ps- headers tuck up very well.
