I found a good thread to read before buying these...

this guy has a lot of problems with his, and then he could not find a customer service # and they wouldn't answer his emails.

And it turns out that OBX is Ebay only... big red flag. Save yourself the headache... keep the money in the US.

Good rule of thumb: If you have never heard of the company, try to talk to customer service before you buy from them... not after the purchase.

If you have a problem with Kooks or ARH... you call them.... or the Kooks/ARH guys actually come on this site regularly.

that is useless......

AND as stated BBB wants $$ thats it.. its useless BS

Have you talked with an OBX customer service rep?

I will be getting my tune tomorrow after the install. I will post my dyno results from EFI Alchemy!!

It's certianly possible, but not desirable.

Where is your camaro made. Just something to think about.

With these headers can you use all the stock items? Or what do you have to replace. What about high flow cats, etc..?

They do look nice.

CamaroCowboy · 10-29-2010, 02:58 PM

The stock exhaust stays the same. they come with offroad pipes to span the gap left by the old CATs. You can buy High flow cats at anytime. I will probably take crap for saying it but any Kooks High Flow cats will mount strait up to these headers.

I gotta tell u they arent very loud.
I do have a custom made exhaust that I tweeked for 2 months until I got what I wanted but for not running cats they r quiet...

$400 FOR HEADERS, 3.5HRS TO INSTALL MYSELF, 31RWHP AFTER A TUNE.....PRICELESS

31 RWHP is not that great with headers and tune

JS · 10-29-2010, 11:17 PM

So what do u think a bolton A6 should make?
From what I've seen 25RW from Headers is right on par, tuning was worth 6RWHP/11RTQ at peak but over 20RW in the middle

I'm now at 382RWHP/395RWTQ
Maybe u should go look in the L99 Dyno results area, u might rethink your post
Most A6's with my boltons are making less

It didn't seem matter when you made your previous post.

well couple thing to say first.. when you add headers you should be adding a new intake and tune of course...

ok with my M6 LS3 engine putting down stock 350-360WHP... can get 420 WHP with kooks headers + CAI + TUNE... (and i did in deed do this) you should be getting like 50-60 WHP with headers .. 30 WHP with headers+ tune. i mean a tune it self should be like 15-20 WHP . and the guy i was talking to got 30whp with a tune in IMO is not very good .... now if he gain 30WHP without a tune its a whole different story. its a A6 so i guess its differnt
