Default OBX Racing Headers

I was curious if anyone has used OBX Headers on a C6 LS3? There is a new set for sale near me for cheap by an owner who sold his car, never installed (these ones: Product Name - OBX Racing Sports ). However, I note that they are stated to be for an LS2. The company does not seem quick to respond on fitment by email.

Happy to hear any opinions of this brand or thoughts on whether they would fit a 2010 base C6. I didn't think there would be much difference in headers between those two engines but I am very new to this...

Thanks!

In 2009 the over axle pipe where it joins the X-Pipe, the bend is a bit different so it will not be a direct bolt in. Some folks claim to have a muffler shop modify the bend in order to fit.

Thanks for this. As I have a 2010 it looks like I would have the same fitment problem. Not sure I want to mess with that since this would be my first header install and I would prefer things to generally fit as required to make it go smooth. Price was right though lol. I might do a bit more research and see what other header options I can come up with.

Are they 1.3/4” or 1.7/8” ones? I have the larger ones and I needed a very slight adjustment to ensure it didn’t come in contact with chasis.

I believe the larger ones....but they just sold to someone else. I will have to be on the lookout for something else now. No rush I guess, I want to do it properly. Thanks.
