Gauging interest: OBX LT header group buy

I know that this has been discussed towards the end of last year but I am going to throw it back out there.

Some of the guys on the Saleen forums, Harley forums, and F150 forums have been looking into these. They range from 600-740 shipped for LTs and resonators or LTs and hi-flo cats. I am trying to get a large group together to try and work a (hopefully) large group discount.

These have the exact same specs as the Dynatechs:
T-304 Stainless Steel
1.75" Primaries
0.375 flange thickness
16 gauge runner thickness

I need a head count of all who are seriously interested...

Im interested in a set with magnaflow 94106 cats

I spoke to OBX earlier this month and for this kit he quoted me $495 shipped, which sure as hell beats $550 shipped, any lower and ill definitely be in!

Good to know. I was dealing with a retailer; so you called OBX directly? I will try that and let you know what price they shoot me...

What kind of setup are you guys planning for the OBX headers?
I was thinking of this:
OBX long tube headers
Magnaflow 94106 high flow cats
Magnaflow X pipe
2 Dynomax bullets
14x4" rolled tips

Everything would be 2.5 inch, dualed, then 45 degree out the back sort of like 06 Ford's single exit behind the wheel, but mine would be dual

Wish going dual before both rear tires was easier

I'd get bigger mufflers, that type of loudness will make a person wanna shoot their self.

It's ok to check out interest, but before you put a group buy together on this site, you need to get Administration permission. You need to contact Rockpick.

Thanks

Unless you guys are planning on working this through one of our Supporting Vendors, this one probably won't be allowed...

At minimal, an 14" Magnaflow. But even that will hum inside really loudly.

I have 14" Magnaflows with my stock Saleen side exit and 3" piping. Thinking about replacing the side exit with rear exit though. As much as I like it I melted my rocker panel playing around with a Vette one day. Plan on doing the headers this week or next (depending on how the whole group thing works out) and I have been speaking with a local shop about building me a longblock starting late May/early June.

Well I'm debating as to whether thats a plus or not...I already have a hum in the cab from the mud grapplers

Eventually ill swap them out with a less agressive mud or all terrain tire, but for now I want something louder than my tires are on the street and the highway

14" magnapacks will probably go in instead of the dynomax bullets, but either way, i want flow and i want loud!
