Default Does anyone have the OBX exhaust for 97-01 CRV? How Loud is it?

I need to replace my stock exhaust and just wanted to know if anyone has the OBX exhaust and if it's loud? If so, comparable to what? I don't mind a nice deep tone, but I don't like anything that's too loud or annoying.

I picked one up for under $200 to replace my rotted stock exhaust. Initially I was very pleased with it, but it quickly became much louder. Realistically its no different that a swapped Civic with an exhuast ( tons of vids on YouTube) but because of the CR-V's cabin, it seems to be more "boomy". It also doesnt help that at highway speeds you are turning 4k rpm.

Okay thanks for the info! I guess I'm stuck with building my own exhaust then. First things first...buy a welder and get my dad to teach my how to weld since he used to be a welder years ago. I figured that'd be the cheapest alternative anyway since buying pipes is still fairly cheap online.

Seems fairly loud judging by this video. Kinda sounds just like my stock system with a missing muffler...
