I bought the kit last week I installed them last night.Let me start out by saying not all Camaros are exactly the same.The install went ok I'm a machinist so everything in my head should be perfect this install was not perfect,but for the money not bad. The passenger side a breeze except the fith bolt for the coil pack rail I had to cut a 10mm Craftsman wrench to get to it because of heater hose.passenger side the header will not fit looks like you have a foot ball filed to fit it in nope.I had to remove oil filter of course knock (message)the floor board a little. The Y pipe didn't fit very well that came in the kit.collector bolt's were a mile long expect 15min just to tighten those.I'm not complaining ,but it was a bit$h.So after all was done with one leak egr kit didn't come with new gaskets. I didn't delete ,but might all was done pulled out and couldn't steer bolt was hitting the header ground it down now I have a RAGING BULL! HAPPY NOW BUT REALLY SORE!

Wow! Had very little trouble with my T/A but yeah, the results are amazing.It's been a couple of years now and I'm still happy with them.Hope you will be too!

Yup, had mine now for at least 3 years and no problems whatsoever. Next time I buy headers though, I'm getting a complete kit!

What were you missing? I read some guys didn't get gaskets.

The kit had the donut gasket for the collector everyone was missing ,but the EGR tube gasket that goes on the top of the new header. I had to reuse and it leaked . I ordered one waiting for it to come in this is a really good kit I'M HAPPY.

I must be reading this wrong- you only paid 200.00 for these?

It's been awhile since I've put these on but I chronicled my experience here: http://www.ls1.com/forums/showthread.php?t=40417&page=2

I remember not having basically any hardware, gaskets, etc. When I cut the box open, it had the headers and Y-Pipe and some worthless OBX literature. I guess you get what you pay for. But, after scrounging up all the parts for the install, it was well worth it.

Yes I remember that thread - I read it very carefully before I did my own install and it did help a great deal.

That is good to hear. I was so frustrated with that kit that I wanted to help others avoid the problems by listing parts and part numbers, sizes, etc. I'm glad that thread helped some people.

i dont know if this was covered already but the OBX 00-02 headers, do they have the EGR and air fittings? i have a 99 but was thinking about removing all that during the install. so do they make a racing header or just the ones you see in pics. also whats the best y to go with them. i seen it came with a catted one for like 495 which isnt a bad deal at all if the y pipe is decent as well.

The OBX kit comes with a Ypipe already. And those aren't cats you see, those are resonators for sound. Yes it comes with all EGR and AIR fittings.

O I could have sworn one of the sites said they were high flow cats.


And I really want stainless for the Chicago weather. I don't think painted headers will hold up very well here
