How have these held up? any cracks, leaks or fitment issues to report?

I just received my set today. I will report back once I get home to unbox them.

Nothing to report up to now, I recently replaced my gaskets with the AR ones because mine leaked. The car rattlees like mad when started but Im pretty sure thats every N54 started under 0 deg C.

Great, thank you for commenting. Quick question, where did you source the AR gaskets from?

Opened my set of OBX pipes. In general, I would say they are worth the money. Yes, some of the welds are ugly, some are rough on the inside, but for $180 how can I complain? I will be taking my dremel to some of the rough edges inside, specifically near the o2 bungs.

How come I can only find these on Ebay and not on the OBX Racing website?

I have a new, never installed set of these off of eBay. I went with the VRSF XI DP's instead as stated above.

Spent couple of hours dremmeling off the rough interior welds and sharp edges off the O2 bungs. Also have the the hardware and 2 new OEM flange gaskets (18307553603). If anyone is interested in them PM me an offer, I can take some pics as well if you need them. They are just gathering dust in my garage. New are 180 shipped and the gaskets were not cheap either ($20 ea IIRC).

Bumping thread to update my experience. Finally got these installed this past Monday. Shop had zero fitment issues. The midrange and top end power gain is a noticeable difference! They sound great too. Best $140 I've ever spent.

Link to $140 shipped?
