Pics of the obx on the car. Only fitment issue is with the muffler, with it hanging too low... The sound is pretty nice... alittle too loud for my taste.

Don't worry my friend, the exhuast will get quieter. Though it will still be noticeable when accelerating.


As for the tip alignment, go to home depot and get yourself some large hose clamps.


But ya do gotta admit, it sounds pretty good, doesn't it? If it doesn't yet, it'll grow on you.

The steel hangers on the muffler and the hanger posts on the body of the car. Don't forget to get about 3 or 4 hose clamps. I STILL need to go get a few more to get the alignment perfect.

Get quieter? What? It will get louder. Currently there is still a coating of some sort on the inside and that will take a week or so to burn off. Whether that affects the sound that much, I don't know. But things tend to get louder as they get older.

About the exhaust, you can hear the bees noise starting in the low rpm range. Look for CAESARSCHARRIOT videos, that's how you car sounds to people on the outside. I don't know whether you have a y-pipe or not but if you don't then, I feel bad for you already. Nice and shiny by the way...

dont feel bad.. there is no bees in the can noise, the camera / sound isnt the greatest on this thats why you are heaing crap. It has a nice tone to it but too loud for my taste...

I doubt the camera has anything to do with it. I use a gr-dv11u. The thing is like on of the first DV cams ever. If you play it back on the camcorder it sound like *** but as soon as you put it on the pc it sounds ok. Anyway, at 17sec and 27 sec the fart can noise is most present. A WS is exactly what you need. It's super quiet and sounds great...

At higher speeds, yes. And a little bit at lower speeds.


And this exhaust WILL get quieter after a few weeks of break in, and of course after a long time (over a year) it will get louder. The glass pack will break down causing lots of noise.

i think it sounds fine. Give it a few weeks to break in and build up some exhaust resin in the pipes, it will definitly quit down a lil. My Greddy took about month to simmer down to exactly the way i was hoping it would sound

I have no resonators. That's why my exhaust is so loud.

hey guys... i took out the car today for a nice drive ... ok went to the gym but thats about a 20 mile drive. So first of all let me say this this is loud... maybe I am just getting old but i really hope it ouiets down a lil. As for a nitice in speed, hyonestly my butt dyno can tell a pretty big difference after like 70 mph + which is very good becuase my car was a dog at higher speeds

bro, im lookin at the actual muffler pics you posted. how come the logo of the mufflers tip is on the bottem? isnt that supposed to be on the top? Maybe hte company messed it up when the put the muffler on the pipe and put it upside down, maybe thast why it hangs like that.
