Thumbs up OBX Catback
Just installed one , they are well made indeed , very good fitting w/o any need for mods to hangers , took just 35 minutes to install. Sound is quite good, no raspy tones with the OEM cat , and it isnt loud just a little over the OEM one at idle, good sound at 3-5K. Can be recommended and its als o a bargain. BTW you need to buy the gasket and bolts.

You can use the donut gasket but still needs 2, 5/16 bolts and nuts for the flange between the muffler and the midpipe. Will get pictures later.
