hey when a supercharger or turbo comes out hopefully will you have to risk your AC? meaning can you still have air conditioning?

ok there is no "Super-Charger" for a civic people.. a Turbo charger
and OBX exhaust proabalby wasnt the best choice if your going for Horsepower
but if u want more HP with out buying a "super-charger" or TurboCharger.... than get a Chip, all of ur stuff plus the chip will make a big difference.... but not the difference ull probably get with a "super-charger" or TurboCharger....

There are no superchargers or turbochargers out for the civic. Before you give people false information, telling them to get these things, use the "search" functionality on the board to see if there is one available first.

I have an OBX exhaust and it works fine, I don't know what is with some people dissin OBX, its a frickin exhaust!! It has mandrel bends t304 stainless and it doesnt bottom out like the magnaflow. I am happy with it, just beacuse you don't like it, don't rip on it, keep your opinions like that to yourself please.

ditto.

they all do the same. buy for sound and looks not the name on an exhaust system. save your $300 and get some more mods.
