You can't find anything on them because as usual, the brand is misspelled. OBX is the brand and they are cheap Chinese knockoffs, you get what you pay for.

Here's a whole post about them: http://forums.maxperformanceinc.com/...&highlight=obx

Some people said they're okay, some didn't like them very well.

Awesome quality... thick stainless tubing, beautiful tig welds and extra thick flanges but I guess that all goes to crap if they don't fit! I have a set of OBX headers on my turbo sbc and love them but apples and oranges.

Most headers are not easy to install on a Pontiac, maybe your motor mount spacers have something to do with them not fitting?

This ^^^^ is what popped into my mind when I first saw this thread...

Even what some would consider a small change in engine position,can indeed have a big impact when it comes to something like header clearance.

Hard to say for sure though.

Dougs on my 73 F-body. Very minor flatening of #2 tube going over the sub frame for extra twisting effort clearance. Plenty of room at oil filter and the big starter fit with 1/4" clearance.
