OBX Cat-Back: 15 minutes left to bid.... (1 hour ago) Trying post again

OK I'll try this for a 5th time or thereabouts. There is (was) an OBX cat-back on ebay for $150. I was thinking of buying it just for the b-pipe section, which is $100 cheaper than just the budget b-pipe. Then I'd also have a rear section to use or modify with a different muffler (definatly dont like the 4 inch tip) But I was just hopin to get some input from you guys as tot he quality of OBX and if you had any other ideas for a cheap b-pipe. Oh its 2.5 inches BTW. THanks!

Go ahead and get it man. I need a rear section of that exhaust sincec mine got damaged in an accident. I talked to all the shops that offer it and they said they were out of stock until march. I will pay you 75$ plus shipping (Let me know if the price goes up on ebay). I got mine last july and I thought it sounded ricey at first but after it got broken in it sounded pretty good. It looks great, fits good, and it will last becuase its stainless steel. The entire catback netted me 5-7hp throughout the entire RPM range, but from what I understand most if not all comes from the B pipe itself. I wasnt too fond of the 4in tip either but since I have had it on I guess I got thicker skin.

Edit: Doh...nm its probably over now.

Well there are two more auctions for it. At the same price, by the same person. Maybe I'll bid on the other one, which ends in like a day or two. None have bids on them yet. I'll sell ya the rear section for half what I pay for the package, that be cool? PM me if ya want.

Thats probably the best way to go then. Custom Bpipe for cheap. From what I understand after reading up a bit... the stock rear section is fine for me and looks a lot less ricey. Edit: Unless ofcourse they were talking about the muffler only and that the rear seection pipe also helps.
