OBX catback

i know alota people talk about obx headers (which suck i herd) but what about the obx catback exhaust? i checked on maxmods and it said it was $299 on speedstash.com. sound like a good deal but i caint find them on that website.

Other than the fitment issues.. the B pipe hangs real low... its a pretty damn good catback for the money... The headers on the other hand are a totally different issue.

thanks for the input everyone

thats good it has a deep sound, just what im looking for. the fitment issues arent too major, are they? im not installing it so hoepfully it wont be a big deal. im not lowered, will the b-pipe get wrecked cuz it hangs so low?

I dont have OBX, but my budget b hangs quite low, once the car is lowered it will def be hitting on stuff (driveway approaches etc) But after almost 2 years of it, it hasnt caused any issues, its low enough to see it hanging below the car...and i'm lazy which is why its still low.

the greddy style obx catback has its benefits and disadvantages to the greddy catback (closest comparison)

Benefits:

far FAR cheaper
all stainless steel, not just muffler like SP1
somewhat rare, so can keep good value

Disadvantages:

Fitment issue
only 2.25" inlet
hard to find

i loved mine when i had it, honestly the best sounding catback i ever had...only sold cause i needed bigger exhaust for performance.

Gains werent too noticable. The order of my mods were: intake, muffler, y pipe, b pipe. If I did the whole catback together at once I may have noticed it more, but since it was spaced out I couldnt really tell. The sound changed more than anything, even with a resonated one. Plus I only got the b because the stock one had a hole in it, but otherwise I would have kept the stock one because I thought it sounded A LOT better with my setup, it was very deep and had a nice growl too it, sounded bad ***.
