Don't do it! Trust me. I made the mistake . What a piece of **** it is . Really really loud too. Spend a few more dollars on some other brand, because it sure ain't worth it.

That looks like the worst quality exhaust ever. Look at the pic where the pipe goes over the LCA. It goes from 2.5" to like 1"

(that quality is almost as poor as slammed_93_hatch's spelling and grammar)

the midsection looks well done, that's if its really 2.5". The rear section looks like complete ***. Check out the guy on here who sells his own mandrel bent tubing for an INSANELY killer price. https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=380727

Why not got to a local muffler shop and get a stock looking magnaflow put on? So then you wouldn't have to make a post in a month or so saying you got pulled over because your exhaust was to loud.

I have an OBX Uni-muffler (B8B) on a custom welded 2.25" catback on my HX. It sounds deep and throaty, I love the sound, not raspy or farty at all... I dunno about their full catbacks tho.

Honestly, Ihave an OBX B3 exhaust and it sounds awesome. Sure OBX may not have the best quality parts all around, but there exhaust does sound very good. It is really, really deep and no ricey tone at all. I actually got it before I really learned alot about exhausts, but I think I am going to stick with it because it sounds great. I actualy do get compliments too.

(that quality is almost as poor as slammed_93_hatch's spelling and grammar)
in the big pics only the rear axel back is pictured so the pipe over the LCA is stock and that is why it is so small, the mid pip section is pictured in thelast picture on the bottom
