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.

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

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.

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.
