My OBX pipes discolor a little if they get wet, but a light application of mothers take care of it quickly. I can't say my stainless is crappy it's like anything else. If you want to keep it nice you have to keep after it.

I have a Honda CRX with an OBX header on it and it still looks great after 8 months and I have contemplated using OBX headers with Doug's side pipes on the Corvette.

Hookers on my 80. Plugs are so so to change. Starter is not a problem, oil change easy. They are headers so hot under hood. I ceramic coated mine. One con is they are hot and will sear your calf or the calf of your passenger in an instant. another is they can be loud. If you like the look, the noise does not bother you and you pay attention when you exit the car....I like mine, they fit the look of the car. I wont lie though, I have toyed with the idea of a full exhaust out the back. Want to make one myself just for grins.
