I actually took a stab at it! I mean its pretty good, the tips turned gold which is normal, I feel a little pull on it in the mid range, but nothing too drastic! I also have the Aem intake on it, so the two combined work well together, but you basically get what you paid for... I actaully ordered the new MS Dual Can Sport Exhaust look for a post by scapegoat he actually bought it too...

Its OBX, so its legit. I just don't think I'd buy anything off ebay.

 

OBX is a copy cat company I'd say you have a 50/50 chance of this product getting the gains the original did. If not it's only $299 probably has descent sound and probably looks nice.

 

How's the sound of the OBX?? Deep?? I prefer a deeper sound and am looking for a catback, but outlandishly expensive?? Any opinions?

 

damn that's cheap.

 

hmmm.... I have the magnaflow system now after a disaster with a flowmaster set up, it sounded good with the flowmaster.... just kinda went to crap after a week, and then it was loud, real loud and obnoxious so I had to look for alternative, if I had known about this one I could have saved me the 800+ bucks I paid for the magnaflow RX-8 system which does not sound good.

 

Usually, you get what you pay for.


BTW, what's a 13B-WSP?

 

299 wouldn't really be a bad option, since it's pretty much a common knowlege that an exhaust upgrade offers no hp gain there really isn't a way to say if this exhaust or that exhaust is worth it or not. It's more about sound and looks (tips).

 

if you like it buy it and dun worry about the power gain cause you aint going to get much anyways....

 

Correct me if Im wrong, this thing weight more than stock ?

No thx ...

 

is it heavier than stock?

so what is the weight of stock?

that's it, I am ordering the jic... no wait, that thing is close to 1500 bucks...

 

Stock Catback Exhaust - 38.6lbs from this thead.

 

Corksport catback is suppose to be 24 lbs lighter than stock.
