Unless someone PMed/emailed you and said they were out.
Awsker you might try PMing or emailing the people who wanted in on the other GD for the OBX exhaust. They may not realize there is another cheaper GD going on. Search for the thread in this section. There was a mirror post in the 5th gen forum too.

It arrived today. Exhaust looks nice but the welds look like they were done by someone in a hurry or without experiencee. I didnt get a reciept or anything... not even a packing order. I will be getting a baseline dyno today. Then I will put the exhaust on. THen get it dynoed again for comparison. I will get the dynos scanned for proof.

Received mine toady as well, looks good. Mid pipe is a little banged up, but you do not see it anyway, and I am sure this was due to the way it was shipped. Mid pipe was wrapped in bubble wrap, and shipped, no box or anything to protect it. No big deal since you do not see it. I can not install it because my car is sitting at Nissan, I had a clunking noise in my rear right suspension when I hit a big dip or bump in the road. They can not figure it out, so I told them to keep it until they find the problem. Beside I get to ride my ZX6R more!!!
I do have a question, I have not looked under my car yet, but is there an O2 sensor after the cat on the 03? If so is it on the cat itself or on the mid pipe? The OBX does not have a flange for an O2 sensor, but perhaps it does not need it. So if you know the answer please let me know, I am quite curious, and since I do not have my car I can’t go and check it out.
Bgates very curious to see your dyno results!

Its a cake walk to install. There is no O2 sensor after the cat. Atleast I didnt see one. Oh yeah I have a 2003. Generally that would be the kind of question to ask before you buy the system. I will try to get my dyno sheets scanned today. It made about 4-6hp and 5-6tq throughout the entire rpm range and taht was just a half an hour after install and maybe 3miles of driving. A little disappointing for a catback system, but the ECU hadnt had time to learn how to utilize the better flowing exhaust quite yet, I think. So maybe the numbers will be about +1 or +2 more. You can definintely feel the power difference in second gear. It also feels like the powerband smoothed out too. I am still embarrassed a bit though becuase even though the tip is flush with the bumper it jsut looks too friggin big. Also the sounds is a little more ricey than people have said in my opinion. However the people at teh dyno shop said its nothing and actually sounds good. I guess I am just picky, but people were making it out to be a deep throaty exhaust like a GTP or a V8. It sounds nothing like either in my opinion, but then again I listen to my brothers 99 Trans Am with a flow master catback all day.

Yeah I think it sounds a bit ricey. Its not bad enough for me to take it off (thank god its not loud), but it does embarrass me a bit when I lay into the throttle at low rpm. Once it hits about 3000rpm the rice sound goes away. It is pretty deep, much deeper than the fart cans on the 4 bangers. The thing is is that its got that "m4d TyTe high tech sound" that those fart cans got (atleast in the lower rpms) instead of a good deep rumble. Well I would have to say that 10hp/8tq is decent and would certainly make me feel better about the mildly ricey sound and HUGE tip.
Oh yeah and there will be a bit of a delay on the dyno scans because the scanner isnt working right. Its one of those all in one kind of printer/copier/scanner and its not showing up as a scanner.
