use the search. Its not the best exhaust because the muffler hangs low. however the one I got had some pretty nice welds and sounded nice and mellow.

o all right thanx, i figured its a pretty good price but i was just curious about what others thought. also if i put another hanger on myself, because we have a welder, would i help it hang up a little higher.

IT sits low because the muffler is circular in profile not oval. So it physically CAN NOT hang higher. It doesn't matter much.. i scrape the **** out of it all the time. I don't really care at this point. Still sounds quiet with a test pipe... but that might be because of turbo .

so it is a good exhaust for under 200 bucks if it doesnt go any higher.

I have one on my '90 CRX with 2 1/4" drop springs and 16" wheels. Hafta watch out for manhole covers, otherwise it sounds DEEP and nice! Compute your ride height otherwise this combo wont work in the real world.

i have an OBX on my 91 hatch, 1.5" drop no scraping
go to your local VW dealer for the best exhaust hangers ever
part# 8A0-253-147-A

its shorter than honda ones so it holds the exhaust higher and has a chain inside of it so it wont stretch

i dont have a cat and it sounds mean as ****, its damn near slient when cruising but if i jump on it i scare people

i bought one 'cuz it's a cheap way to get a full b-pipe with a resonator and a bunch of 2.5" piping. then i hacked off the muffler and tip and replaced them with slimmer versions so it wouldn't hang so low. the build quality is incredible with those things... from looking at the welds, you'd never guess it was so cheap.

+1

when mine arrived i was very suprized at the qualty work, i'm sure its a cheap *** muffler, but based on the quality of the work i would have paid $300+ for it

i'm thinking of changing the rear muffler to something a little quieter, w/ out teh cat its LOUD when you get on it
