best catback systems out there!

What're the best catback systems out there and how do they sound on your car.
like the OBX Catback and the Megan racing Catback. I already know how the greddy sound. i like it but it's too expensive. these two are under 300 so i am considering them. i want to know how they sound though. so please post u'r thoughts and if possible sound clips. i have a 95 auto, with a injen CAI.
thanks in advamce.

Greddy if you want the BEST, but obx is pretty nice.

I just got my GReddy SP2, and I don't think I'll ever go with anything else. I can barely hear it until I pull 4k RPM and then it's a deep growl. Can't wait to get my airbox hacked and the rest of my exhaust done. Question though, are the OBX or Megan Racing stainless steel?

i got the obx from an org member, lazyfool... he bought it new, installed it on his car, drove for 5 miles, decided he didnt like the look, took it off, he said it didnt align well, but i bout 3 hoseclamps (3 dollars total) and it aligns PERFECTLY for me!
Its fully stainless, looks pretty damn good, and sounds GREAT, I get compliments all the time. However the b-pipe hangs rather low...So low in fact that im having it bent up, because i have sprints in the mail, and I'm afraid of scrapage.

Why is your post "best catback out there" if your only willing to spend the moeny for the cheapest ones.

i dont have a sound clip of the obx, but you can only hear mine between 2k and 3k rpm. (I have the stock ypipe) its a really deep growl, sometimes its a little too loud for my tastes, but I'm sure most people would be fine with it..

after u get used to it, it sounds really good, especially if you let off the gas and let your cars RPMs drop. At idle and cruising speed you cant hear it at all.

and the bpipe hanging low and the muffler tip not lining up are all true, but i fixed the latter thing by buying those hose clamps, so its all good

no kidding...if you want the "best catback" you will have to wanna spend some money.
If i were you just save up for a quality catback like a APEXI catback system. I've had mine for about 4 months and still love the way it sounds.
