Vibrant Performance or Summit or Jeg's just to ensure the most durability I would personally invest into an inner lined (turbo'd car type) flex section due to it's extra beefiness to handle force inducted exhaust pressures and tempertures....An non-inner lined unit would fail severly with blow-out, blow-thru, or pressure bleed thru (bees in a can) on a force inducted car...Over engineering is always my preferred route due to increased durability and me enjoying more time driving than fixing.....

I ordered the one with the inner lined and outer lined flex. Hopefully it should eliminate the noise. Thank you for the info.

Greg from

said the noise disappeared on the original Stillen y-pipe after wrapping the flex section with header wrap. I am curious whether that'll take care of the noise on these too!

where you get your obx headers? I thought the 3.5 were gone.
