OBX exhaust?
hey guys i found a obx exhaust for 240 dollars. It's a full catback and comes with silencer and it is 2.5 inch piping. I'm goin to turbo my car so that would be perfect piping but my question is does the exhaust sound good? also i'm goin to be takin off my cat and puttin a test pipe in place is it goin to be real loud? thanks.

Pretty much everything I've seen from OBX is crap.
If you're going to turbo the car, just wait to get an exhaust until then. When you do, get a 3" Carsound cat and 3" Thermal R&D catback. No it ain't as cheap as this OBX trash but it's infinitely better.

maybe a custom 3" exhaust would be better.

Buddy of mine got an OBX cat-back w/silencer...the silencer tip fell off one day while he was driving. OBX...you get what you pay for. If you're going turbo you might as well dish out the extra $$$ for a quality exhaust.

You have to remember that a turbo acts somewhat as a muffler. On an n/a car the 3" Thermal would be unbearable but on a turbo car it's not that bad.

yes...but on a custom exhaust, you can always pick a quieter muffler.
