Default check out the new OBX headers

Gotta wonder if these fit the NBS trucks?

$495 for dynatech copies, and NO driver's side hump anymore.

If these fit the NBS's (which I have a feeling they'll work with 2wd's) these will be killer for the price.

What advantage would these have over the old style with the hump? I can't imagine they'd perform any better. I can see them looking better though and issues with spark plug wires being eliminated. I'm having hold my 1 wire back with a bracket but that doesn't bother me. Still interesting though.

About the eBay auction: I can't see that price for everything (headers cats and y-pipe). Seems a bit out of place.

They're not cats, they're resonators that look like cats. The ad is legit

They'll perform the same, but the hump is a big deal killer to many. I hated it myself.

They look much cleaner than the old style, I wonder if they will fit the older trucks? I liked the price of the old style just not the issues with the wires. I hope somebody will try and let us know, I was looking at LPP,s but some still had issues and now I hear it will be fall for those again. Anybody going to be a Guinea pig and try these on an 03 4x4?

The issue with the hump isn't that big of a deal
