Stainless obx style headers
my next mod is gonna be a set of long tube headers.several people told me about a good deal on ebay. obx style headers that are stainless. has anybody had a problem with the way they fit or the spark plugs being to close to the header tube or y pipe not fitting properly for the correct application the header was designed to fit on ? my nephew got a set of obx but i dont know what they were to fit but i do know they are not the long tube and i think he was wanting to do a turbo set up. i will be searching other threads and posts for long tubes and a y pipe set up for my truck. 03 silverado ecsb with 5.3.

Shoot Dan (DV2000NJ) a PM about the ones that he got which are listed as a Tahoe application I believe, they don't have the "hump" on the driver's side that causes spark plug wire interference problems...I'll see if I can find the thread where he referenced them...

Can anybody confirm that the 07+ Tahoe headers will fit 99-06 trucks? Along with the OP, I need to know this, too
OBX knockoffs for 99-06 are $300 on ebay
OBX 07+ Tahoe are ~$550 on ebay
All of the sudden, LPP's($500) are back in the race.

Both of these are the headers I have, just from different sellers (I don't remember which I bought from though).

Although the Ebay headers' driver's side "hump" isn't all that pretty, it also isn't that big of a deal to work around, if you want (arguably) the best longtube/Y pipe deal out there.
Tomorrow, will be exactly one year since I installed my $300 Ebay stainless longtubes and it's included Y pipe on my 2002 Z71 ECSB and I have yet to experience a problem with spark plug wires due to the dreaded "hump". All I did was "wrap" the two plug wires that are closest to the pipes with insulating wrap (like used on a turbo) and that's it. The one at the hump actually lays right on the pipe. No issues, ever.

Might have to bump your old header thread for it's one year anniversary!
