Default OBX LT Header Experiences

For some reason the search function is pulling up 0 on these. Is this kit on Ebay decent for what it costs? I know if I spend more (i.e. Kooks/JBA/ARH) I may get a "better" system, but how much better, and in what way? Will I throw check engine codes with these?
I really don't care if it's ceramic coated. Also, it looks like these come with the cat version and off road version pipes.
THANKS IN ADVANCE!!!

My OBX headers are coming on Friday. I read a lot of positive reviews about them on TheMustangSource. You might want to head there for more info on them.

Also, it does come with two H-Pipes, but the ones that look like the could be cats are just little bullet mufflers.

OK let me chime in here, I had a OBX header on my s/c 04 sentra specv. They were a 80% copy of hotshot. The first few thousand miles they turned a nice bronze bluish color then went dark bronze and blue. They held up pretty well for 2 years and started showing pinholes in the welds so i just replaced it. Hope that helps you more then people running them on the stang for a long term view.

I installed my set last Dec. The H does noy have cats, it's just a straight-thru resonator.
I had a few small install fitment issues, but all easliy dealt with. Oneprimary will rub on the steering shaft on a hard right turn if you don't install prothene engine mounts.
Quality of the headers is good, mine have turned a bluish/gold near the heads. I was after it for a performance mod & am not concerned as much as a appearance mod.
