What version OBX headers are these?

Check this out, I am thinking about getting these headers off of craigslist:

http://denver.craigslist.org/pts/1632352646.html


If you look at the pipe design it looks a lot different than the latest ones on ebay:

The ebay ones obviously aren't equal length, but it looks like the craigslist ad might be. In the craigslist ad, it looks like the two pipes meet at a 90 degree angle though, is this an early version of the headers, or is this craigslist find actually the VQ35 equal length version? Ideally that is exactly what I am looking for.

Has anyone ever tried Altima headers?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/OBX-R...#ht_2525wt_939

They look like almost the same design as the Maxima and equal length as well. Considering there haven't been any Maxima VQ35 equal length OBX's up lately, I am wondering if this could be an option?

True, but hey if they are equal length and fit on the Maxima, I might go for it.

Those won't fit a 4th gen without significant modification, VQ35 altimas don't have the same subframe design that 4th gens do.
