Has anyone out there run the obx headers? I was looking at them but was wondering about quality.. also I was planing to put a Gibson super truck behind it. Anyone run this combo?

I have seen them on 2 2wd trucks and looked pretty good but seems hard to get alot of info on the OBX stuff. I remember trying to contact them and it didnt get far along before I went a diff route.

Yep, there isn't much info out there about the OBX parts.

As for the exhaust, I am not a big Gibson fan. I have seen way too many of their kits rust out within a few years. If you are going to spend the money on a true catback system, then I would consider Magnaflow. Otherwise, I would just keep your stock piping and do a simple muffler swap.

I made the mistake of buying a cheap summit cat back kit and it rusted out in about six months .. now I guess I'm going stainless so this is the last time I do exhaust

I get that a lot. I have actually had a few guys call to replace their rusted Gibson kits with Magnaflow as well. I know the Gibson kits are a bit cheaper, but you will not have to worry about the Magnaflow kit rusting on you at all.

Does magna flow have a kit that dumps out the side in front of the rear tire? That's why I liked the Gibson supertruck

Gotcha. Unfortunately, they don't make a side exit in front of the rear tires.

You don't want it to dump out the side in front if the rear wheels. Ford did this with the f150 in 1997 and had to recall them to move it because if the corrosion eating the paint off if the rear wheel and rear quarters.
