OBX Catback Yes or No?
 
I'm looking to get some new exhaust on my car, but can't decide. I've found the OBX Catback system for pretty cheap and am wondering what everyone's input is on that system. Is it worth getting? Thanks

Thats just one, there's A LOT about OBX exhaust around here. It's heavy and reliability is questionable, but hey its a cheap exhaust system. I personally dont think it's a bad deal, just remember, you get what you pay for.

Search around, there's a lot of detailed reviews on this.

no to junk

^ Why is it junk? please elaborate... it got good reviews from people who bought it. It looks exactly like the Fujitsubo Legalis-R catback... :eyetwitch How much more performance could you get if they are identical in design and both made of stainless steel?

Id have to say ABSOFREAKINGLUTELY NOT!

Save up and get a half decent one like a HKS Legamax or Mazdaspeed

turbo xs, cheap and good.

Everyone is saying 'junk' but no one is elaborating on why? Just because it's an ebay brand isnt really a good enough reason. I'm not trying to go against the grain but please elaborate on the statement 'junk'. Aside from the fact it's heavy.

I know their headers got reviewed & said the welds were not that high quality & the metal was not well constructed & the design & claims were pretty poor.

Spend some more & get a nice Racing Beat exhuast or Turbo XS

+1, spend a little extra cash and get a RacingBeat/Borla/HKS ect....

the first thread they did on this exhaust everyone talked bad about it..including the thread writer who said he would go with borla if it failed but then turned around and bought another for his newer 8. everyone that was downplaying stopped posting and more people started buying and installing it and love it. this weekend i plan on installing mine and ill pst my opinion.. i guess if spending a lot of money gives you peace of mind than so be it.

alexanderiv99 09-25-2008 01:06 PM

installed and i love it.... couldnt be happier...not to loud not too quiet just right
ill post a video asap
