Break it right the first time. Fix it better the next time.

Saw the OBX version listed on ebay the other day. Not cheap, but available.

Torque monsters are gonna run you a 1000.00. Straight from obx's website those are a grand now. I found 1 website that has the obx headers listed for like 550.00.
All I can say if it's legit then jump on the obx ones. I had minimal fitment issues in 2017 when I installed mine.

For what it's worth, my OBX experience was a lot more of a mess. I had to take a belt sander to one piece to get the flange to mate up, they weren't even close. And the bolt holes were drilled out of alignment with the threaded holes on the head so they were a mess to bolt in. I spent a lot of time with them to get them on with the engine on a stand. Doubt I'd ever have gotten them sorted doing it with the engine installed.

The build quality was solid - welds looked great, etc. It just wasn't made precisely. From reading other reports it seems very hit or miss. I'd buy them again if the price was right but would definitely go in prepared for a fight. If the price is close between them and torque monster, I'd buy the TM every time.

I agree build quality is all over the place but for 500 less having to modify them a little is still worth it.

If the engine is on a stand, for sure. I honestly don't know that I'd have been able to resolve all the issues with mine while the engine was bolted in. It would have been very hard to see what was even wrong in some cases.
