How much do you want to spend?? You could do a custom exhaust and pick out the muffler and resonator and then just have the piping made up for you. Or you could buy one of the many premade kits that are available so just to name a few that are good.....You have DC, Thermal, Greddy, Skunk 2. now those are a just a few out there that are good but also pretty pricey. You could go cheaper but yet still a good exhaust for the money and get an OBX cat-back system as well.

ask yourself that and what do you want out of the exhaust:

moneys not a problem. WHats important is horsepower and a good sound. quiet at cruising, and mean at full throttle. How much is the thermal catback?

 

HKS classic.

my personal favorite

 

bump.. no offence.. obx is crap... ive had goos luck with greddy, with no resonator and a catco race cat. 2 1/4 from header to muffler.. cheaper,, a bonsai muffler with 2inch from header back, or a dynomax cannon race muffler with 2.5 inch and a tip... me just get a 2 1/4 inch pipe from header to gsr gutted cat, 2 1/4 to muffler.. tanabe

peace

Have you ever even own an OBX exhaust?? I have the Midpipe from OBX and well besides one thing I have no complaints what so ever, bolts on perfect all the brackets line up and you can even use all OEM gaskets.

There is one spot that bottle necks that I dont like and that is at the end of the midpipe where the axle back would bolt to BUT the reason for this is because you can use the OBX midpipe with the OEM axle back so in other words they did it so you could use OEM gaskets which well after finding out that someone has a Greddy axle back mounted to the OEM midpipe means that even that "better" exhaust is just as small in that area.

Read up on a few posts on here about OBX while yes there are a lot of people that say they are crap that is because they dont know any better and they think oh cheap in price the exhaust is crap but mostly its because all they do is listen to other people and have no real experience with it themselves...I wouldnt complain less than 100 bucks shipped 2.5" SS midpipe cant go wrong there!! And also the resonator that it comes with actually does its job!! My exhaust is quiet and I am running a gutted cat and it doesnt sound buzzy or ricey at all.

 

hks is pretty nice

 

i have a magnaflow w/resonator, and it's damn quiet when normally driving, but when u hit vtec and romp on it... omg. I tend to turn many heads... it's not ricey at all!
