I found this SS exhaust on ebay and got it for $240 shipped. On Friday, I saw it sittin' on my front porch when I came home. I spent about two hours on Saturday trying to get the rusted nuts off the cat (no flames necessary) and I decided to take it to a shop. This morning I took over there and left it but now its ready and I'm just waitin to get out of work so I can pick it up and test it out.

Does anyone else have one of these? How do you like it?

 

So I've had my chance to drive it around for like an hour or so. My first reaction is that the sound of acceleration is way too loud. At cruising speed, there is only a slight hum, and no sound at all during deceleration. The exhaust at idle has the slightest purr. The combination of my Frankencar, Budget Y and now the OBX exhaust are great to listen to at WOT, but I get tired of the droning while driving around town. Maybe it just takes some getting used to.

The look of the 5zigen stainless tip peeking out of the bumper fits snugly in the curve of the oem bumper. Looks good.

Just thought everyone might like to know.

if you're talking about a muffler please refer to it as a muffler not an exhaust, thank you...

 

its a complete stainless steel catback, including a b-pipe, so my terminology is correct. i am not some stupid @$$ ricer that likes that fart muffler sound.

 

ouch....... got pics?

 

not yet, i dont have a digital camera...yet, but ill pick one up 2day at the drug store.

 

cool...i was unware that OBX made a catback for us...

 

it is the only Mirror Finish Cat Back for the Max. I thought about bidding on it...let us know about the sound quality/ressonance or drone. congrats.

 

does the b-pipe include a resanator ? do you know what size the piping is?

 

i dont think that the b had a resonator, but it seemed like there were two slim b-pipes already welded together. The piping is 2.5". I just thought it was weird to have a completely stainless catback, since all of the others are AS. Fitment was perfect. If you see one on ebay, snag it, it takes a little getting used to the new sound, but it starts to grow on you.

 

oh yeah, sorry krbga

the only real drone is during slight to moderate acceleration. WOT and cruising sounds just fine, especially considering it doesnt have a resonator.

 

do you get that huuummmm in the car when driving at 60-75mph on the highway?

 

hence my post...

 

no, it sounds pretty much stock, i think that the muffler looks like the apexi ws, so its probably a chambered muffler, which deadens some of the drone that people get with the greddy sp.

ivel-- sorry for the snap back, i just thought that you were rippin on me for bein a ricer, something that pi$$es me off.

 

 

pix whenever you get a chance.

 

its raining for the next day or so, so ill post up some picks once it gets nicer.

 

hey slimer, does it sit even with the back bumper on your 98 SE? not like the Apexi WS which is 1 inch inside the bumper

 

the tip sticks out maybe an inch, it fits real well in the opening of the bumper.

 

Cool, I just installed my obx r exhaust too. My sticks out about 1 inch and half because of my test pipe(I think?). Overall, it sounds great and looks like the greddy SP. Hey slimer, does your look like the greddy SP or different???

i think that we're the only two that have this exhaust. i never heard anyone else talk about it. is it new?

the only beef that i have with it is that it sounds/smells like im running rich. i guess that my ecu has to get used to getting the junk out of the engine quicker.

i should have some pics by this weekend.

 

Hey you don't happen to know if it is 50 state legal now, do ya?

 

fed spec, not cali spec, i think

 

pics?

 

im glad i can get OBX at cost

this will be a spring mod for me, thats if i dont buy Jay's Greddy catback.

Ant

 

what's cost for you, if you dont mind me asking.

ps-i will post pics, once i get a digi

 

Well the MSRP is $599.99 for the catback, so I'm guessing $200 for just the catback and w/o shipping. If its less than $250, buy a bunch and sell em to us!
