Default OBX replica mufflers?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...QrdZ1

Before you flame me too hard, I'm just looking at the muffler. I'm gonna have a local exhaust shop do the piping. The problem is the header I bought was shortened in a previous life, so it may not mate to my stock exhaust. So I'm just going to have one done. But I can't afford to drop the cash on a nice full catback. So a cheap muffler and a 2.25 back exhaust will have to do. Do OBX mufflers sound -that- bad? I figured the Apex' i WS copy would be pretty quiet. My buddy has an OBX twin loop and he said its not loud at all. I really don't want loud, I just want something that will go well with the piping I'm going to have.

Go to Advance Autoparts and buy a Thrush performance Muffler. its not a straight through but provides a wonderful sound, 2.5" in and out and it was under $20. I personally wouldnt go with an obx muffler.

they don't last very long, and its going to sound extremly raspy if you dont have a huge resonator installed, spend the money and buy a real unversial Apexi WS muffler

I do have a resonator I'm going to use. But I figured OBX mufflers were probaly cheap junk anyway.

I bought one a few years ago when my stock one fell off. It was cheaper than oem and was quieter than my worldsport on my other hatch.
