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.

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. Bret P. |

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.
