thanks for the link. but those arent OBX.
I trust the obx a bit more since i read a review on it here https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1219989 and it convinced me to get it.
I dont know about that NETAMI brand.

Im sure your right it probably wont last me that long. but I really need an exauhst and for the price right now it will do for at least another year or so. Besides i want something quiet and that and the price are the biggest selling point for me.

there arent any obx twin loops on ebay. and i tryed searching google and yahoo and nothing (other obx come up but not the twin loop). except for one spot but they watn 175 for it. anyways thanks for your comments.

found this on ebay:

it's an axle back but i guess you could cut it and weld to make it fit your needs

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...&rd=1

*edit

Found a whole bunch by putting "twin loop exhaust"

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...&rd=1

not sure what brand though, i don't think there that far off from OBX

i've been looking for one of these mufflers too. all i can find is the netami muffler. from what i have found though....the netami only comes with 2" inlet. i dont really want to bottle-neck my exhaust like that.

after reading some past threads....i ended up going with the dynomax turbo muffler. i must say that it is one of the best sounding mufflers i have heard. ill try to post some sound clips sometime within the next week.

Question about the OBX twin loop for those of you who own one. After a while did it start to rattle? Mine was fine for about two weeks, and then the muffler started to make this awful sound when i let of the gas at about 3-4 rpms.
If no rattle, is your exhaust resonated? I'm thinking this might have something to do with it because my exhaust is not resonated.

well i got one, love it. its not over powering loud but has that growl to it. its miles away from being loud like any of those straight through N1 style mufflers. the first couple days, the thing was so quiet, like stock, then after a while it got a little bit louder and has stayed that way, its still quiet.
