OBX Exhaust Fitment Issues?

The B section of the exhaust hangs really low. So low that you can see it in the side profile of the car. I think that the flange to the cat was fited wrong and so does my frind who builds exhausts.

Doea anyone else have this problem?

i would order again too...you telling me that an extra 20 minute job and probably an extra 5-30 bucks on install depending on what u have done to fix fitment issue isnt worth saving 200+ dollars getting a greddy?

I would definately order it again. I was just wonderin if everyones hangs so low.

Its not like its the end of the world. I will only cost like 30 for an exhaust shop to fix it.

I have that problem, plus another one...the oxygen sensor had different threads on it that wont fit perfect. I think Im the only one with that problem, I dont know. I just emailed the seller about it, not sure if there is anything he can do about it, but ill see....other than that, I love it..its more deep when u are first stepping on the gas, so I just kinda roll when I pass a cop. But on the open road, it gets quieter

I'd buy the OBX again too...

The slight fitment issue was not even really an issue, took me 5 minutes to fix.

If this system sold for $500 or more, I'd probably get the Greddy, but for the $250 I paid it was well worth every penny.

I couldn't be happier with it...

I agree 100%! It was well worth it. Maybe it is just a 98 Maxima thing? lol

OBX

Bleh, why buy a premade system that doesnt fit right when you can get custom catback for the same price or less(Depending on the muffler you buy/the muffler shop) that fits perfect?

BTW: Midas and those places will take your left nut for this kind of install. Go to a smaller place.

Custom Cat-backs suck!!!





**unless mandrel bent and resonated, which both cost extra**
