Talking whos got headers?

primarly, share them headers! secondarly, i'm looking at the obx LT kit on ebay. i know people here use them, so i wanna know how good they are. the longevity, installation, satisfaction, and if i can use them here in Texas and not have to worry about inspection/emissions giving me problems.( im gonna swap out the resonators for high flow cats to keep it legal)

I have long tubes. I'm catless tho. I had OBX at one point and the cheap stainless is crap. After damaging 2 primary tubes offroading, I switched to Pacesetters. Main reason for switching was for the 3" outlets. OBXs would be better for a stock truck.

I have installed them. he drivers is cake work. It literally just slides in. The passenger side is a different story. had to remove the motor mount bolt ad use a long *** pry bar to lift the motor about 2.5" to get the needed clearence to get the header too slide in.
