Calling on your opinion (cat-back)

Greetings fellow Maxima owners!!! I call on your advice again.
I am in the process of replacing my stock cat-back ( mine is all rusted and falling apart!!)
I am interested in buying a new catback, was looking at high performance (although I know it doesn't add much but still).
I am not sure which brand to get. I like loud but not honda loud. I also am not in the mood as to spend 500+ on greddy and such...
Please voice your opinions on a cheaper cat-back but not a crapy one... Thanks!!!
Scott

The OBX ones seem nice, when I get the money this is what I am going to get. Its around $270 and is all stainless (mucho shiny). Has B-pipe and people seem to like it. Meccanoble has a thread on his, hit it up.

i still think my Greddy fits and looks better than the OBX. But if you wanna go the cheap route go OBX.

I was just looking up catbacks for stillen, greddy, and cattman, and they were all super expensive, like 500+.
OBX sounds good, its just the problem if I can still get that GD and if I can get my hands on it. I got you PM and another PM to that guy you told me to, just waiting on him. Also checked that website but they sell the obx catback for like $330. And I thought you said its under 300. I"m a little confused but this is a serious issue. I need to order my cat-back in the next few days, i need to buy something asap, but not 500+

You have a way with words Ant

The price may be cheap, but it's quality isn't.

Greddy- aluminized
OBX- SS

Go with the Apexi WS catback. The sound is great with a real deep tone and no drone. It has a nice tip and will set you back about $400.

Budget B-pipe then find a muffler/tip of your choice and have a shop make a rear section for you

I have a Budget B pipe w/ a resonator and a Borla muffler....I love the setup

I'm not trying to be mean or anything, but some of you don't understand. I said I can't spend alot, so apexi is still to much 400+ is still alot, 500+ is a whole lot more, I heard obx is just like greddy, I think 270 is very good.

Or pay an extra $60 and get a full SS exhaust with two resonators and 2.5 mandrel bent SS b-pipe and install it yourself!

Price $260...
