They look nice, but for $450, I wonder what kind of quality they are?? Anyone running them?

Goddamn thats cheap! $450 for longtubes WITH the h-pipe/cats???? Sounds too good to be true. Never heard of that companybut I wonder how the fitment is. Even my JBA's, with their extensive R&D had some fitment issues. Looks like it's even 304 stainless.

I only found one reference to OBX exhaust for our generation stangs (http://forums.bradbarnett.net/showthread.php?t=74554), but the comapny appears to have been around for a while. They make a lot of exhaust for Hondas and Bimmers.

It's not that hard to knock something like this off - a talented company can make an exact clone of an existing design, materials included, and sell them for way less. I'm sure the cost of goods on a name brand header (like JBA, Hooker, etc.) is around $50 - $60. And, their markup is 10 X or so. Another company can undercut them, make 5 X profit, and still make money.

Now, whether or not OBX is that talented is a different story...
