I was going to dump my custom HKS system due to fitment issues (muffler smashes against the support for the rear tow hook) and sound (makes a loud buzzing at 3000rpm) and was considering the OBX cat-back. Was just wondering if anyone had this setup on their NA... and if so... whats it sound like? thanks!

:-k

Isn't OBX a JC Whitney/Pep Boys/eBay/ricer kind of brand?

Why don't you go for a respected brand like Racing Beat or Borla?

 

[djsqiigles]

racing beat and Borla are no better then OBX.

I would rather an OBX then those actually :|

Make sure to check out all the differnt exhausts people are running on the baord to form your own opinion though...

What's the piping diameter on your custom exhaust? consider selling it?

 

[JamesCameron1]

from cat back the diamiter is 2.25"... I dont know if I would sell it. Im actually considering keeping it and putting a resonator after the cat to quiet it down a bit. After all I did spend wack of cash on it :?

Im running the OBX exhaust it sounds good NA. Not raspy, buzzy, but deep.

With the exhaust FI, its SILENT! lol

 

[JamesCameron1]

Hmmmmm... now Im wondering if I should keep the HKS and cram a resonator in there somewhere or buy the OBX #-o To me the descripsions sound the same as my HKS only the buzz comes in at a lower rpm according to some. Who sells an effective resonator?

 

[jesseclee]

I thought the HKS Hi-Power does have a resonator after the cat already, and a muffler before the small 'bomb' style muffler. Is yours different than that?

 

[JamesCameron1]

mines just the hi-power universal muffler with a custom 2.25" pipe from cat back.

Alright... can anyone get me a video/sound clip of the OBX system? That will help me decide what I want.

the typical cherrybomb resonators work wonders for removing raspy/drone sounds from most any 4cyl cat back.

No, OBX stuff is great. The only people that complain about them are the ones that paid 2-3x the $ on Racing beat stuff.

The exhaust is tooo quiet for my taste anyhow, but the workmanship is nice. I do have their header.

What's your reasoning for this?

I've been debating about getting an OBX header over the RB one because of pricing and they look pretty much the same...

 

[clshrckr]

is the obx header carb legal?

 

[sonique128]

Nope.

Which is why my next exhaust will be made by a local custom muffler shop. Cherry bomb rezzy, custom piping and a $50 Apex canister muffler. Total price= $225

 

[JamesCameron1]

what cherry bomb are you using? the long red ones or the shorter one?

 

[Agent935]

Hey, James, You ever make a decision on wether or not to keep your exhaust?
