obx type-h catback is A++. sounds deep, looks quality, expect a good 4-5WHP.

I dunno about a full Cat back, but I have the muffler and I'm lovin it. Real deep and throaty(with resonator). It's not loud at higher rpm's(you might not like that). I love to turn the ignition, best sound ever. Definately NOT a fart can. (My sister thinks it sounds like a mustang... Dunno if that's good. She's biased tho... her bf drives one). I would purchase it again if I had to. I bet the full system would sound even better.

One slight issue that my guests complain about is that it drowns a little bit around 2500rpms on the highway. Although, it might just be me cuz I have a custom catback with no b-pipe(but I DO have a resonator). I personally love it.

Non enthusiasts might not. Anybody else having that problem?

Since it's a bolt on, bolt it on. Try it. If you don't like it, ebay it.


Oh, as for performance, my butt dyno didn't feel any. But then again, I have non-mandrel cat back which is a total bummer.

I think just for the sound and look it's worth it. I'm sure with the full system you'll see more power too. Good Luck~

I love my OBX exhaust and it was well worth the money. If I could go back in time, I think I would have spent the extra money for the GReddy. I like the larger tip and it has better fitment. I guess it all depends on your budget. For the $265 I paid for the OBX, I can't complain.
