think this is a little overkill for an exhaust?

i made the mistake of buying obx strut bars for my old car (DA) and they ******* sucked. they creaked and made god awful noises when i would turn. i wouldn't buy anything performance related if they cant even make decent strut bars.

OBX exhaust aint that bad. I got one on my civic and dont have any problems at all. It has a pretty nice tone. I got the B3 Slant Cut Tip muffler. The only pain in the *** is gettin the silencer off. Other than that..... I got no complaints.

finally some one finds the problem with this site, it is so name driven, that it is all most like high school cliques. If you are going to comment on a certain system, give the man a good description about THAT product, don't tell him what he should be getting because it has a name, because with names, comes cost. BTW, I don't know anything about OBX, so this is way off subject.

nah im not name driven... i would say HELL NO to the OBX idea though...

give thermal a try or perhaps ES oval muffler and some 2.25 piping.. i hear that setup works real nice, and if your DOHCvtec i hear it sounds mighty nice

usually, names are associated with quality. which is one of the reasons no one likes obx or apc.

i have the B3 slant cut muffler too. its not loud but its deep. It can only really be heard in low RPMs, in the upper RPMs I can only hear the CAI. I only have the muffler with 2.25in pipes though not the whole OBX cat back system. If i were to do it again i would of gone with the Apex'i N1. Hope this helps.
