They claim that their "$hit is Good" on their website.
Looks like they cater to the ricer crowd.

I dont see it coming with an x or H pipe, i could be wrong though.

If cost is that big of a concern look at the pacesetter header system. Or the mac

I was looking at thatauction also. I'd just never heard of OBX and they have a really attractive price for SS headers and h-pipe.

Don't you just love it when they can't even describe their own product properly? [:@] Apparently the auction is for a Header. Not headerS, not two, not a Pair. It's only i nthe pics that you get the idea that it's all a big typo thing, but is it? Or are they going to send one header out and tell you you should have ordered two?

Iguess it's only to be expected when they pay a pittance to a recent school leaver to make Ebay ads

It's not so much a cost concern as it's a value concern. For the 94-04 Mustangs a similar header seems to be $200-300 less. You can't tell me a few slightly different bends in the pipe for the 05-07 Mustang = that much of a cost difference. I expected by the4th model year of the same car and same engine that theseinflated prices would come down a bit......I guess not.

I'm less concerned with the wording than I am with the fact that the OBX website doesn't show a header kit for the 2005-2007. I e-mailed to find out who's site was wrong, the eBay dealer or OBX. We'll see. I can understand the ricer rep they have.....but bent SS pipe is bent SS pipe. It looks like they make stuff for BMW and MB.....so they can't be that bad. I wonder if anyone has bought these for the older stangs?

A great value header would be BBK, Mac, Hooker. In that order.

Also try and get ceramic coated. Chrome is ok but will discolor, but function the same
