Default Ebay longtubes installed

Installed a set of ebay (OBX) longtubes on dirt track racer 81's dads truck the other day. EASIET HEADER INSTALL EVER. I've installed MAC midlengths, AEM longtubes, several sets of pacesetters, and these were BY FAR the easiest. Both slid right in from the bottom, and didn't even have to seperate the steering shaft to do so...here's a few pics...awesome quality by the way

x2 Thanks for the pics and install info.

I might run N/A for a while and am looking at headders

Would you mind posting the link, i see a few sets on ebay, just want to make sure im looking at the same set you bought.

Hows the sound? Did you use a stock gasket set?

I can tell you one thing right now, I just took my OBX's OFF and those headers you put on are not "identical" to the OBX's. The OBX's use a completely different style resonator and the finish isn't as "shiny". Maybe similar but not identical anyways.
