I would not get it... Think about it.. If the big names don't make a 2.5" catback, why the hell would a POS company like OBX make one?

General OBX Products = crap

OBX =

You get what you pay for in some cases. Don't put that crap on your ITR. That's just my opinion though. It's your car, do what you want. If you want to paint in Flamenco Pink Pearl, then do it. Hell...do a 4 lug conversion. It's your car.

Thermal is a good brand.

OBX, hmm, i think they make your taillights, right typerman? Haha, just kiddin, those must be APCs right? But seriously, you already know how much a poo pooy exhaust sucks, just buy a decent one and be done with it.

eheheheh yes APC makes my taillights....but they are sold as of now and I ordered good old OEM baby and I am selling my "mugensque" muffler on ebay and I already got a apexi n1 on the way and a aem cai to replace the weapon R

I'm a ricer who is trying to convert back to a performance person hehehehe....it's going good so far.... remember I bought this car after owning a mustang gt for a year...and didn't know anything about imports so I went all riced out lol...the only thing im keeping on my car is the red carbon fiber cause I like it :-P

Have you guys ever seen the OBX underdrive pulley set...it looks exactly like the one AEM sells? I bet they come out of the same factory in Taiwan

I would take OBX over APC.

OBX =
