What are all of your opinions on these catback systems as far as exhaust tone, quality, etc?

Does anyone have any good sound clips also?

bumpity bump... anyone?

 

Save your money and get something better. Don't rush into things like this.

 

megan racing is junk...i own a OBX and it sounds awesome...not ricey at all...very deep and throaty....fitment isnt perfect tho....but alittle modifying would make it work....

 

I would suggest holding off and get a better quality exhaust, but if you don't want to spend that kind of money than you can go with the obx or megan

 

Neither, get something better, your better off just going to an exhaust shop and having them mandrel bend a SS 2.5 in pipe for you

 

question for the haters.....If you say "get something better", can you explain why these two are not worth buying? I'd really like know why you say get something better. Just to spend more money?...or is it really worth the extra money for the "better"? I've had my OBX cat-back for over three years and it's still in great shape. It sounds good, looks good, and cost less than half of what the GReddy SP was at the time of purchase.

99maxk2...don't get opinions. get facts! Like I said, I've had my OBX for over three years and it has stood up great to New England weather. It sounds good, and looks good too. The only downfall was that the b-pipe did hang low, so I had an exhaust shop reweld the flange for $60. (probably the same problem JLiusifer had) I drove it around for over a year before I did that though. I only did it to make it look perfect and I had the money to spend at the time. Good luck with what ever you decide.

 

99maxk2......ive had my obx catback for about 6 months now and i have no problems what so ever.....erty is right bout the bpipe hanging alittle low but compare it to the greddys catback....those are almost double the price....obviously those r goin to be better made but since catbacks only give 5hp tops i thnik it all depends on how much u want to spend....i got mine for $320 during the time....if u dont mind alittle fitment issues then i say u should definatly jump on the OBX.....a lot of my buddies think it sounds awesome....greddy is nice but u do pay alot more....so its all up to u....if $ isnt an issue then get the greddy....if so then get OBX....

 

check out my webpage if u want to see what it looks like

Hey, thanks for the replies. I was def. lookin into getting the GReddy, but then i realized, why spend so much when i can get something a lil cheaper and use the extra money for I.C.E. Im figuring you are just paying for the name when you go with GReddy.

- Anyway, what is the "fitment issues" you all talk about, like can you elaborate? Is it something that needs to be done at a shop or can i install it at my house (I don't have air tools).

-For those that said "get something better," have you tried the OBX or Megan Racing cat-backs, or are you just assuming because they aren't popular that they aren't good?

JLiusifer--- Thanks for the link, lol, but i found your site and saw your exhaust and that is what made me interested in the OBX, haha, thanks tho.

-Lastly, I heard that the OBX is loud in the first few weeks, but gets quiter after installed for like 2 weeks. How quiet does it exactly get? And how is the exhaust tone compared to GReddy, because i want something with more of a punch than GReddy, a lil bit louder, but still deep.

 

Use the other money to get a y-pipe then you'll have the tone you want and a good performance exhaust. The fitment issue is the b-pipe thing I mentioned above. You can install it fine, but it will probably hang low. What some org members, including myself, have done is use hose clamps to tighten the rubber mounts that hold the muffler up. this helps raise the exhaust.

 

Meagan = Rice! Go with the OBX. Nice 2.5 inch SS catback in my opinion.

 

the megan is VERY ricey sounding, but i have never heard complaints about the quality. obx ive never heard any complaints... so i would go with obx if i had to go with either of them

 

where can i get the obx catback at???

 

Y Pipe was my first mod on my max

And yea, where can i get the OBX catback at?

 

Google/Froogle it.

 

found this...

nothin wrong wit megan racing. i have a obx catback and i love it. didnt cost me 400 bucks and it does everything i ask it for.

 

i have the megan. it is real good fits well. but when paired with y pipe it just gets a lil loud at times. but it dooes sound mean

 

ohhhh the gayness.. just get a good exhaust like cattman or apexi ws..

 

i got the obx cat back and love it.

 

my obx serves me just as well as the GReddy or Apexi would have, and it was half the price. That doesn't sound to me.

 

I think i am going to go with the OBX as soon as money allows me too

By the way, anyone got any sound clips of their OBX, or can anyone make one please?

 

what about dynomax turbos? i saw some on ebay for around $50 and heard a soundclip which wasn't that bad.

anybody disprove the dynomaxes?

 

has the Apexi WS2 came out for the 95-96 maxs yet?

 

Isnt that just the muffler, im talkin about cat-backs here....

 

Where can one get the complete OBX systems from??

 

..........

 

ok i just saw the obx... personally i would get the greddy or cattman. id rather pay the few extra bucks than to have that thing on my car.

 

A few extra bucks... if that were the case then i would go with GReddy, but your talkin about a couple HUNDRED bucks my friend...


so anyone wanna make a sound clip?

 

I hear what you're saying. It doesn't look as pretty as the GReddy. Sadly, OBX stopped making the cat-back that I have. Mine looks almost identical to the GReddy. I would make a sound clip for you, but mine frobably sounds different than the Type-H.

here's a pic of the older OBX (best pic I could find)
