obx:icon_no2:Exotic Speed:)

romycha1 03-31-2009 10:39 PM

Yeah, I saw that the other day... I was thinking of getting it, just to get it... can't go wrong for $125... maybe

cfm251 03-31-2009 10:52 PM

I can see this as being a good base to make your own dual resonated midpipe

Ross_Dawg 04-01-2009 12:53 AM

a midpipe for $125? I'll pass.

cfm251 by the time you custom fab 2 res. on there you're approaching the AP DR MP price; better off just going with the real thing

LOL thats why I got the B&B midpipe, Its not something I can do, but if someone has the skill and the resources...and better resonators it can be pulled off for less than the $300 dollar price heck ive had a resonator welded to quiet my exhaust for $60 part and labor.

trustbuddy 04-01-2009 01:12 PM

$125 is a good deal. racing beat sells their for over $200...
and they look pretty much the same.
i can't see how much better it can get.

fannin522 04-01-2009 02:06 PM

probally shitty fitment but someone try it out and i guess we will kno

romycha1 04-01-2009 02:27 PM

Well, I haven't seen anyone really complain about the header or exhaust..... and this is just a pipe with flanges.... the header is WAAAY more intricate than this... I think this is gonna be a good alternative.

tubingchamp 04-01-2009 02:29 PM

OBX header has had some major fitment problems actually...

romycha1 04-01-2009 02:30 PM

Oh really? Didn't know that... I just see that many members have it.. I don't remember reading much about the fitment issues.

tubingchamp 04-01-2009 02:31 PM

Well, they're not as major as they are common.

Google OBX header fitment.. :P

RX876 04-01-2009 04:28 PM

i am also considering the obx test pipe.... will the ebay o2 sensor (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/O2-SE...Q5fAccessories) keep my check engine light off?

That type of thing won't work. I tried a similar thing on my RX8 but it never worked.
Thw OBX header fitment is not major so long as you know what it is and can correct it before trying to mount it on the engine.

RX-8skater 04-05-2009 02:34 PM

I'm gonna order the test today and if it don't fit right I'll take it to my metels room at schhol and reweld good thing bout being in high school:)

let us know how the fitment is.

I love the way everyone hates on OBX yet everyone I have talked too with the catback has been extremly happy with it.

learycd 04-07-2009 12:57 PM

waiting to hear how this goes

felk420 04-13-2009 12:56 AM

ye i been looking into the same mid pipe. for $150.00 shipped is not bad at all. looks like it has decent welds and looks pretty clean. i have to agree with 9krpmrx8 that everyone talks smack on obx products just because they are cheapper, but i have an obx catback and its not bad at all, much rather spend like $550.00 for a full catback and a midpipe than $1000 on a mazda speed catback and midpipe that will pretty much give you the same outcome. Now a days is all about the benjamines. deff would like to hear what the midpipe sounds like, if someone gets it before i do, post a sound clip or comment on it.... STOP THE HATE ON OBX PRODUCTS....THEY ARE JUST A MORE AFORDABLE WAYS TO UPGRADE AN 8. DAMN DONT COMENT IF NOTHING GOOD IS TO BE SAID ABOUT IT.....READ THE TITTLE OBX MIDPIPE, NO ONE WANTS TO HEAR YOUR OPINION IF ITS NOT PRODUCTIVE (O'Renesis ,Ross_Dawg)

nuegenracing 04-14-2009 04:07 PM

I have the obx catback and I can't complain for the price... I wouldn't mind looking into the obx mid pipe too....

felk420 04-21-2009 12:55 AM

any one tried it out yet, im really tempted to get it Right meeao

czar 04-21-2009 01:29 AM

i have it on my car, was just for fun got it for a little cheaper with haggling, it fits fine, sounds a bit raspy, only problem with it ive had was the origanal nuts on the rear came off, very loud when that happens,

i think the random weld on the pipe was ugly but it fit, no problems

learycd 04-21-2009 09:13 AM

any sound clips or vids?
