OBX Raptor Headers

[Canuck714]

Buddy of mine bought a set of these the other day, have not seen them in person yet. I had never heard of OBX before, but they look like a SW copy-cat made offshore.
Anyone on here ever had a set and can share any details on them?

@Big Blue .. Can you move this to the 6.2 forum... I was apparently blind the day I posted this in 5.4...

I can say I've heard of OBX. Don't recall how or where. IIRC they were decent quality.

I put a set of OBX headers on my 2005 5.4l and they were fine, the welds were pretty enough and the price was certainly reasonable for a stainless piece. Everything fit fine and I didn't have any leaks at the flange so I was reasonably satisfied. The only big thing was they added a 3rd O2 sensor **** that they didn't provide a plug for and the bolts for the flange it came with were just wrong.

Ya there are a bunch of Corvette guys that run them, but I have never seen anyone run them on a Raptor. Curious what they look like when my buddy gets them. $950 is a sustantial deal and likely made in the same shop as the asian Stainless Works that are 4 months out to get..lol

Did your buddy ever get these installed? How was the quality and how are they holding up if so?

 

[Canuck714]

He cancelled the order when they did not ship on time.

OBX has been around for a long time. I remember them making parts for the little import cars I liked in the 90s/2000s. I would assume the quality is just fine for a part made overseas (if you're into that sort of thing).

Robot or human?

bumping this old post because I saw these headers while shopping sw and kooks. I’m not interested but thought others might be. $471 seems like a bargain.

I ordered a pair and got them in 4 days. The welds aren’t as bad as I was expecting which wasn’t much for 471 bucks. I confirmed the fit to a set of heads I have on the bench. Everything checks out so far. The headers and y pipe themselves arent thin gauge and quite beefy. When I get some time I’ll post some pics up. Leaving for a road trip and I don’t have the time to install and or document anything for the next few weeks. They are catless so know that.

Do the downstream O2 sensors work the same if there's no converter in front of them?
