So I am a firm believer that you don't have to pay an arm and a leg for a set of headers. If OBX steals a design and starts making them for the 6th Gen ZL1 then I'll be buying another set or TSP.
I have absolutely nothing against OBX headers. I have owned quite a few. It always seemed back asswards that some companies charge what they do for headers. OBX aside, you can get hookers stainless supercomps headers for a SBC for $300. What's the difference between that and a 6th gen header, that justifies tripling the price?

I have always been impressed with OBX headers. Tbh, their QA and welds have been better than the American big name companies, from my first hand experiences.

I wouldn't set your hopes high with the zl1 stuff though. Right now their SS headers are at the same price as Texas speed headers. If the zl1 headers are marketed the same.... No point really imo
