alll depends how cheap you wanna get , i mean its not a good system but you could just use the pipe and throw a universal N1 on the back and it wouldnt be that bad or you could do it the right way and jsut save up your money

1000 dollar value, hahahahahhahah

1000 dollar for a generic catback?!!?!? WOW THATS SUCH A GREAT DEAL!!
exhaust doesnt give that much hp either way. if u feel like getting name brand, go for it, if not, people wont know the wiser.

This thing is probably junk. The guy selling it calls it an "OBX RACING Super Racing HKS catback WITH STAINLESS 4.5" 5ZIGEN EXHAUST TIP." What the hell is up with that? How does it come with a lifetime warranty if it's pieced together from three different exhausts?

tell you what im doing,ordering the mandrel bends from jc whitney,making my own exhaust.should be pretty simple to do,should cost about $120 to do and be just as good as those expensive *** exhausts.

def make sure they have the machine to make mandrel bends in piping however. Otherwise you're car will sound like too many other ricers and backfire at every shift.

OBX is pretty much what you get from anyone w/o the "brand name". Put cermaic 4-2-1 DC Sports header next to an OBX header....identically except for the DC Sports tag welded on.

I've had and still use some of OBX's product. Works just fine for me. My OBX shifter still works.....my Hurst shifter broke. And I had OBX cat-back on my CRX...looks exactlly like GReddy and DC Sports cat-back, was very quite too.

BTW. It's not a $1000 value like the ad said to be.

my opinion for you is that if u were to bid it for 200 and pay 200 for it i might go with a cheap fake muffler " free flow muffler " like a fake skunk2 muffler for like 80 bucks at your local import shop and take it to a muffler tech and get the pipings redone to 2.5inch collectors and it'll be probably flowing as good as that or even better maybe total would be less than 200
