exhuast

i dunno much about exhuast but i know the obvious such as greddy, tanabe, hks, etc.... i was at the local performance shop and saw this exhuast from a brand name "otto" that was displayed....i asked the guy about it and he said it was a good brand and the sound wasnt too loud but deep and low. anybody heard of this brand, how is it?? how does it sound??

1) never heard of it
2) is it a full exhaust or just a muffler. If it is just a muffler, then don't waste your money.

i like my greddy cat back, unfortunatly its winter. but i do have my apexi N-1 axel back on. If all you want is sound just buy an N-1 muffler and put it on. thats what i did at first. but better off spending a little more and getting the full catback.

Ditto!! I had a guy that owns the local muffler shop use a Magnaflow muffler, with custom piping and tip. A lot cheaper than using a whole cat back system!!

ricey= a sound the makes a very high pitched annoying sound that resembles a tin can or a pack of bees coming or a fart.
Now...you dont want that kinda sound coming from your car do you?

I'm not telling you what to do with your money but, I wouldnt order anything from procarparts.com I ordered my intake from there when I first got my car like 3 years ago and didnt know what I was doing, and now that intake is sitting in my garage, cause it was a piece of junk, major piece of junk. So I bought a aem short ram intake, and its 1,000 times better. I'm just saying be careful what you order.

Cool man if you like it get it man. My friend has the obx bomb muffler I think is what it is, and it sounds great. He got it from a local shop where I used to know a guy there and really it sounds awesome and I had never heard of them before he was looking for one.

I gots the VForce muffler, so pimp, whatever. It is not very ricey, deep and low under 4,000 rpms, than it dies off, and has a very very clean racey, not ricey sound. Can be heard from a 1/2 mile away though, but you can hear most any exhaust at full throttle from a mile away. I have crushed pipe, but it doesnt look nearly as bad as anything Ive ever seen. He went very very slow, and very small bends, than move to a new spot and bend it very slightly. Its a non ricey sound, so dont think you cant get a good sounding exhaust with slight gains custom made. Mine is crush bent with a VForce muffler. I love the sound, and it gave me a nicer low, mid, and high end than stock for sure. On the freeway it can get to me at times, but I hear everybody elses a lot louder than mine most of the time.
