ebay OBX headers $168.88 OBO with free shipping
Just seen these. Makes me feel like a sucker when I paid $240 for mine.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/STAINLESS-ST...lYw06W&vxp=mtr I just submitted an offer for $150 and it was declined... |
watch out i think these are round ports headers too, i think i heard they have fitment issues
|
Says they fit '64 through '79....I don't think that's right.
|
The box mine came in said they fit 64-72. I have them on my 75 Lemans, which can use 2nd gen F body headers. Yes they are obviously round port, and I had to slightly open up a couple holes and ding one tube, but do a search and you will see there's no perfect set of on the shelf, ready to ship, thick flanged, stainless headers available at anywhere near this price point.
|
Looks good for the price no doubt but I always thought there was a cutoff between '67 and '68 A bodies as far as headers or RA manifolds were concerned. Maybe with headers everybody just dings them where necessary.?
|
I think they are, for the most part, about the same. I've read about brand X fitting great on this, then someone says they don't fit worth a darn on their same year car. I took one of my buddies Doug's headers for his 66 GTO and compared it to my 2nd gen Hedman Huslers and there wasn't much difference at all besides the #7 tube went down for clutch linkage.
|
I bought a set of them for my 70, they look exactly like the Dougs. I bought a set of Dougs and they didn't fit, called them and they said I would have to "ding" the tube to fit. I bought the ceramic ones for $750 and they tell me to dent the tube, BS! I bought the OBX header and dented the tube. I only had to open up a bolt hole or two to get the bolts to line up. I bought the round port ones, and I would buy them again for a car needing headers, if not RA manifolds are my choice.
|
Too bad they only make them for A-bodies.
|
Had to ding some tubes on mine and enlarge the end holes on the flanges but other than that they fit great.
|
Think the guy just wants offers and only will take price shown. Offered the guy 165 and was declined, so bought a set at the advertised price. I asked another vendor selling the same headers if he would sell at 165 and he said couldn't do it.
|
Will these fit D port iron heads?
|
No, round port. They are basically Dougs round port knock offs.
|
How's the welds? No leaks?
|
welds look great, no leaks on mine.
|
could anyone that installed them, share pics and details of the mods they made? where they dinged them, etc?
just kicking it around to maybe get a set...wanna see what others have done..thanks in advanced |
on my 75 lemans I had to grind a little off the frame and motor mount on the drivers side, also dented the tube slightly, and opened 1 mounting hole a 32nd and elongated another a little.
|
Are they really stainless T-304 ?
At that price, it so cheap, that could be the starting point for a build if you hadn't bought heads. |
they're stainless
|
Sure wish they were 2" I.D. and 3 1/2" collectors.
|
collectors are 3.5" but ID of tubes are 1 7/8".
or at least mine are. |
