OBX = Piece Of ****.

Not worth it. Spend your money elsewhere. But it's your car, do what you want.

twin loop............ really nice if made by the right company. Mugen makes one.... really nice. It pretty much is really quiet without sacrificing flow.

OBX has always been a POS. Why pay 95 bucks for that, when you can have one made for less than that, ****.

first hand experience is always better than he said she said, i understand bashing a obx manifold but i dont see anything wrong with the muffler.

Throw the cash out and buy a real mugen, in my opinion your just buying the name and run around saying i got a real mugen twin loop yO for street cred

OBX has been proven and known to have good quality mufflers and LSD's. search around, i wouldnt buy anything like a manifold or something from them but a muffler, why not. ive heard sound clips, the twin loops sound awesome.

yeah kinda hard to expletive up a muffler guys. hell, if they can get it right when robbing the patent office on the LSD with only having to tighten a few bolts and such....I dont think the muffler will be a problem.

I have that one... still waiting to install it... just got done with an engine swap... no time to get to an exhaust shop... too busy!!

It's damn nice quality tho... i just cut the tip off like the red hatch did... that long *** tip is hideous.

Got the same one as well. Great quality, sound, and service. Eskay is a good guy to deal with.

EK coupe, D16Y8. Stock internals with a short ram, header, and 2.5 inch catback.

I left the tip as is, but am considering having it cut off now. I hadn't even considered that before your post.

How's it sound? I'll be puttin mine on my B18C and i'm hoping for a decent turn out. Yeah, that tip came off the day i got it in the mail, i'm hopin it'll fit my hatch... I'm not even gonna weld a new tip on... I did paint the canister black too, to kind of give it more of a sleeper look.

It's louder than a stock exhaust, but much quieter than a cheap fart can. No raspy, ricy sound either. Nice and smooth. You can hear it when you get on the throttle, but when you're cruising it's very quiet. Again, not as quiet as a stock exhaust, but not nearly as loud as a fart can. It would probably be even quieter if you cut the big tip off as BigRonDawg did. Also keep in mind this is best on an NA setup, it's probably a bit restrictive for a turbo or supercharged setup. I wish I could get a sound clip for you guys, but I can't.
