If their LS1 offerings are any indication, I'd take a pass...fit was always questionable with those. The quality was okay, but nothing to write home to mom about.

I think the fact that noody has posted their experience with these headers on this forum speaks volumes. I suspect folks did indeed try these headers and had bad results and perhaps were too ashamed to post the experience. There was a local Viper owner nearby who installed these OBX headers on his SRT. They were hot as hell and were not jet-hot coated. He had O2 cel issues and I believe fried part of the O2 harness. I don't know what he ended up doing with them but he moved away and haven't heard from him in about 3 years.

M&M headers for GenIII are $1,595 I believe. That's a bargain for a high quality header, thicker flanges and jet hot coated from a reputable site sponsor here. Even the GenIV headers are less than $2K from M&M. I wouldn't screw around. If you do decide to use these obx headers, at least post your experience with them here.

I talked back and forth with an OBX supplier for a few weeks when I was shopping for headers. I was trying to get them for basically nothing to be their step into the Viper world because nobody had used them (at least that would say). I couldn't get them to move very much on price, but what they did offer made me back off anyway. They said that I would have to pay full price and then they would refund me $100 after I wrote positive reviews on the Viper sites. I told them I wanted a discount up front and would 100% write a review, but it would be an HONEST review. If their product was great, I would say so. If it was ****, I would say so. I never heard back.
I ended up going with the M&M's and couldn't be happier. Great product and Matt is a pleasure to deal with.
