? about these long tubes

I was searching and came across these obx longtubes they are just the headers only they are half the price of the headers with resonators and mid pipe. What do yall these since I don't need the resonators and mid pipe.

Yeah I wasn't wanting to spend the 500 for the same headers with resonators and mid pipe since I would throw them away and then I came across these. So i'll be buying these then.

Great buy, wish I would have found the same long back

Could have just purchased the headers, high flow cats, x pipe, bullets and tips for about 2-300 cheaper

Reuse the stock gaskets if they're good enough, not much harm in using the supplied gaskets, but ford ones are better.

Reuse the stock bolts studs as well, make sure to hit the bolts/studs with some penetrating oil a couple times and let it sit 15-30 minutes
If you dont want to reuse them some grade 8 locking studs/bolts would work perfect as well, cost about 30-50 bucks

I couldnt disagree more. Stock gaskets are paper thin while after market OBX, JBA, Dynatech etc are far thicker and much better. I reused stock studs/nuts but on my truck with obx headers and my friends truck we did jba shorties we used the new supplied gaskets.

No resonators and no Y pipe, half the stuff for half the price it seems to me...

If I were to do just LT headers those are the ones I would go with.
