    I have been running the OBX LT stainless headers on my 09 Super Bee, for more than a year now. Absolutely zero problems.

    About 5-6 months ago...I think, I assisted another LX member install a set on his Sublime 07 Daytona. Again, as far as I know, they've been flawless for him. And I would know, we have a gathering weekly.

    I know someone with them that just broke a weld on them. Not sure how just know he has the funjob now of taking them off getting them welded and putting them back on.

    Ive heard a few folks on here report back with fitment issues during intital install and cracked welds down the road. IMO just get a set of JBAs for a tad more so you dont have to worry about anything. The headers are such a pita to install/remove yourself and a pretty $$$ if paying someon else to do it for you.

    Is it a must to remove the heads to put the headers on?

    I was going to get a set of OBX when my wife surprised me for fathers day with a set of JBA lonng tubes. I've had two chargers, a Daytona and now the SRT. Both have JBA cat backs and both had fitment problems. Now I can say both have had JBA headers (shorty for the 5.7 and now longtubes) and both had fitment issues. JBA costs a bit more and they don't fit either!

    TJ (HeavyHook) and I installed my OBX long tubes without removing the heads. It's not fast by any means, but it is possible.

    Ive been working for 3 weeks now on my OBX long tubes, and I can NOT get them to fit!! Driver side top bolt I cant get too, and two on the passenger side line up but will not start into the head. Im about to take it to a shop and pay way too much money to get them completely in. Anyone have any tips?
