X-Force Exhaust Questions

I am in the mood to replace my stock. I have done endless hours of research and videos to see which exhaust I like. I want a good bang for my buck. I did search and could not find anything. I posted this topic in General Discussion because it appears more people would see it... (possibly answer my question)

I came across X-Force Exhaust Systems they appear to be from Australia, however are they sold within the United States?

Does anyone have the exhaust? What do you think of it?

Thanks,
Scott

Looks like the OBX system and also the borla except the borla doesn't have the resonator on the pipe.

OBX....ebay for 300 plus shipping( but this xforce is 3in and the obx is ~2.36)....so the obx will be quieter...

sold in the us where? and it does look like the obx, which is a copy of a borla with an odd resonator added to it.

doubt it really is 3" by the photos..

No, it's a sealed canister, tuned to remove drone on the highway.

No offense but I have the OBX and I listen to it everyday and it sounds almost exact as this thing same "extra" resonator and everything. Unless u have the OBX you won't really know becasue all the Youtube videos suck that i've seen compared to the excat thing this is just like OBX quiet when idle but sounds pretty good at WOT and prob even better with catless midpipe

hmmmm, if this thing weighs in at around 40 lbs, how much is stock, and about how much lighter are other aftermarket brands? i've looked quite a bit, and most just say "lightweight"

Your getting a massive echo from the alley.

It is a marketing trick.

Also sounds like you will have a lot of drone on the freway.
