I haven't heard of them either. You might look for Flowtech headers. I got them for my 4v for half the price of BBK LT's. I am very satisfied with the quality, they are actually made by Holley.

I just did a quick search and found their website, but didn't see any affiliate company.. They seem like they have alright stuff, it
looks like they do a lot more import vehicles, but according to their website they won a SEMA award in 2006, so it can't be too bad.

Take my advice man..I've never heard of OBX longtubes...but I too went with Flowtech longtubes to try and save some money to put towards my SLP catback and the entire install. Well long story short..you get what you pay for, they shpped and were crap when I got them, and were clearly on a car, taken off, returned, then shipped to me brand new. I got another set, but the quality just isn't that great. Save up a few more paychecks and go for Mac or BBK l/t's

You get what you pay for is right. I cheaped out and got Hedman Shorty headers for my 5.0L and regret it everyday. TERRIBLE fitment, always tick(put in better gaskets, helped a lot but not completely gone) and was a PITA to get them installed. Stay with good brands like BBK, quality is the difference :)

No idea yet, I'll post my dyno/tune results August 20/21. It's untuned and runs really rich right now but I'm hoping for at the least 270rwhp...

I bought flowtech longtubes before my bbk equal length. I paid I think like $150 for them brand new, I pulled them out of the box and was like "wow these have to go" so I went back to BBK which I think is as cheap as you should go IMO for headers, even they are not that nice. If I were to do it again I would of saved more money and got something high end.

I believe OBX makes import fart cans and headers?
