Obx long tubes, or another option-price quote too

Could anyone give me a quote on what it would take to install long tube headers with catted mid pipes on the o7 hd saleen truck. Obx are the better price with pretty good reputation, probably what i'm leaning toward, what would be a fair price for the install? Any other suggestions on what would be a good header and mid pipe for my truck? Thanks in advance guys

I've heard $900 was one guys install price, I'd say $5-600 maybe. Usually people do the install themselves, around here anyways. It's not difficult if you were considering a DIY project.

I just installed OBX longtubes on my 05 last week. If I were to charge someone to do it for them it would be $1000. They are a pain.

Ok, so about 1k. How do you like OBX's, and what made you go with them?

Them being stainless is the first thing, price, word of mouth from members here all contributed to the purchase. My manifold studs broken causing a tick and leak prompted headers in the first place. The sound now is incredible.

Thanks for the input, i found a deal on ebay for $695, with catted mid pipes, then i just need to get them installed. The only mod i've done is a borla pro xs muffler and moved the exit infront of the rear wheel. I'm trying to figure out an issue with my saleen blower in another thread, but i'm trying to get all of this done in the next week or two. Can't wait to have this thing running like it should! From what i've read this system has got good reviews, like you said, from good folks on here.

Pulling the trigger on this tomorrow-Which kit

Should I get the catted system or not, there is one with high flow cats or without, which one should I get. Should I get no cats and put on different high flow, or are the ones that come on that catted system good? Thanks a lot for your input guys, ya'll are life savers!

I'd get the cat kit, I did, made things go together simple. Keeps me legal and didn't have to change anything. Maybe get some new o2 sensors too, if yours are old.

Ok, so the catted kit, ford gaskets, 02 sensors-are extensions necessary? And the locking nuts, does that sound about right, anything else i'll need?
