obx good or bad?
I have two preludes and one i'm trying to do up cheap to be somewhat quick compared to the turbo one i'm building so i'm wondering if obx pulleys are good and where you can buy them and also i know when my aem ones they have different for different gen and models but the obx are all the same anyone have these or anything i'll probably buy their crank pulley cuz i got this car for 800 bucks cuz it had a blown motor and i swapped my old si motor in it so i'm just using it to play around.

crank pullies are all worthless in my opinion... i would never use them. All your secondary pullies are balanced to the crank and when you start switching the sizes around they aren't in balance anymore. plus there good for like 1-2hp, waste of money if you ask me.

Satan runs an OBX N1-style 2.5" mufflerhaha but it's essentially a 2.5" straight through pipe so you can't screw that up, or lose power from it. But it does sound like *** from 2000-2500 rpms

obx is plain and simple "you get what you pay for". Some of there products wont be bad but the quality will not compare side by side to a more reputable item

Haha don't get me wrong, I wouldn't recommend OBX for anything, I'm just saying some products no matter who makes them are homogeneous and pretty tough to **** up. Like a straight through muffler.

oh yeah thats very true, its pretty hard to **** up some simple things
shop owners love there products, because they make good profit since there cost is so low

A friend of mine is putting the finishing touches on a B20/VTEC powered Civic hatch and he bought an OBX pulley, oil pan, and oil catch can....
The Pulley... WABBLES becuase it won't go all the way onto the crank. A couple extra washers appear to have fixed it for the time being, but what a piece...
The Oil Pan... Leaks! Not around the gasket, not around the drain plug, BUT RIGHT IN THE WELDED SEAM! I am no master welder by far, but even I can produce a water-tight seal.
The Oil Catch Can... Hell, who cares? It would be really hard to screw up a catch can, but if anyone can do it, OBX would be the people for the job.
Just my two pennies...
