OBX exhaust is friggin loud.

I just had my OBX Catback installed today with the silencer/adjustment device all the way out and this thing is so loud at low RPM, louder than my old Z28 with boost was until VTEC, then it's still loud but sounds a little more racey. This exhaust doens't have any ricey high pitched tones like other ones and i got mine for a steal ($220). I did cut the pipe and weld in another piece both to clear the rear tie bar and have it not touch the bumper thats the only issue. Top end defineately feels stronger, it feels a bit more than the 1.5HP that Import Tuner got from their DC. Could be from my CAI and TB though... who knows. But I would definately recommend this exhaust... just have it installed unless you can weld!

i have the obx b3 also . i like the sound. it is loud. the only thing is it droops down a little, not as bad as the magnaflow, but it does hit on a speed bump.

I've got the OBX catback, mine didn't come with a silencer, but I like the way it sounds. I didnt have to weld anything, it was 100% bolt on. I just bought some longer exhaust hangers to keep it from melting my body kit! I have no problem with it bottoming out over speed bumps, mine is the HKS style one.

I was thinking about getting one. Good to know that everyone likes it. But does it come in other styles besides the HKS style and how much did it cost.

Well...I know OBX is just about as popular as APC round here, but I bought APC universal exhaust for cheap. I had it put on at my local shop with custom 2" piping ( I need the little low-end I have ) with the stock catilytic conv. and no exhaust resonator...and it sounds tooo nice. I get compliments from everyone.

*waits for the APC - > Crap. gif lol*

lata, Eric

I was wondering with the OBX exhaust how does the HP increase feel? Any real power gains?

Decamo has a little shameless behaviour in the past
I thougt from the title you were complaining that its too loud. Personally I prefer a quiet exhaust with a nice deep tone.
