For price, you can't beat the OBX. Fully stainless steel, sounds great (like the sp2) and is very cheap, but has a little fitment problem.

For overall catback quality, you can't beat the SP2. That is, if you're not worried about price.

If you're on a tight budget, get the OBX or just get a b-pipe. If you want top-end quality with a top-end price tag, go with the SP2.

Ohh I see... So two mufflers does neccessarily mean TRUE Duel Exhaust... I understand now... Either way It looks sweet... Is that muffler a flowmaster?

My budget b-pipe came with a magnaflow resonator. It doesn't sound raspy at all with the flowmaster muffler. It sounds very powerful.

I'll be the first to admit I hate bad / low hanging exhaust installs... but you're gonna burn the ever loving crap out of that bumper.

OK. If your exhaust tip is also resting on the plastic bumper, it won't be long or you should buy some lotto tickets.

Have you ever had the urge to go grab the exhaust tip with both hands after pulling off the interstate? Neither has your poor bumper.

The N1 cat-back on my old civic was FURTHER away and it still got douched with melted bumper every time I drove somewhere.

Muffler / exhaust shops exist for a reason, why you haven't got them to re-hang your exhaust is personal I guess.

Sagamax what did you do to correct the position of you apexi? What did you do for the muffler not to hit (burn) the bumper?

I bent my hangers when I installed my ws to make sure that it wouldn't burn the bumper. So far so good.

i love it. nice growl with authority throughout entire rpm, no droning at cruising. in fact cruising between 70-80mph in my auto, it's really quiet.

i was a bit disappointing cuz i thought it would be as loud as greddy sp1 on my friend's maxima. he has wsp y-pipe w/ greddy sp1 and i have wsp y-pipe w/ greddy sp2. his sounds louder. i don't know why...

No, I'm not joking. He's had it for a over a month now and the bumper isn't even slightly dis-colored/burnt. If he puts in a straight pipe bad things could happen, but there are 0 problems with his setup thus faR.

I believe the resonator is slightly bigger with the SP2 and Greddy states they use a different material in the muffler. Most SP2 exhausts on most cars I've heard are relatively quiet.

Not only that, but won't it melt your bumper? And if so, can you say rice?

Different resonator? Different Cat?

Wow I'm happy to hear that. My exhaust is rusted out and I don't want loud, I just wanted performance, longevity, and great appearance. Of course louder than stock wouldn't hurt.

Greddy and every vendor that sells the SP2 system calls for a '95-96 SE, will it fit on my GXE? I would assume so. But you know what they say.

im pretty sure that it will fit your car due to the bung on the b-pipe and the length of it... im awaiting conformation from someone... anyone...

hopupracing is now selling sp2 for 439 now i believe, on sale and only for 95-96
