OBX HKS style review?

For those of you that are using this or the B3 model, what does it sound like? Do you have the cat or axle back?

IDQcivic should not be trusted
I have the OBX catback , its pretty loud and has a really DEEP sound, it doesnt sound like a chain saw or weekwacker like some of the other ones. I'm happy with it, I've had through last winter and it is still just as shiny if I clean it really good. It doesnt hang low. As for performance gains its hard to tell because of all the other mods, but I'd recommend it for the value if you are thinking of getting an exhaust, just get some longer exhaust hangers to keep it away from your bumper, especially if you have a body kit. Don't listen to the other people that rip on OBX, on our cars an exhaust is an exhaust, its not like we're getting tons of HP out of it anyway....

Sweet, I am thinking the same way you are. Did you get the cat back? I wonder how versitile the B3 tuner is. Anyone have one of these?

all this is very true[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]. i have the HKS style one and it's nice. good deep tone and sounds nothing like what i hear buzzing around where i live. it's the best bang for your buck and i couldn't be more pleased seeing how much everyone pays so much for DC and claim that they can't tell much of a difference.

massivemotorsports carries them, nice site and photos.

There site isnt secure though, you would have to post your cc info over an insecured wire. No way im doing that, and they dont have a phone number either. I wish I can find the same price elsewhere, anyone know??

massive motorsports doesn't have the full cat , last time i checked
they on have the rear section and for the price they're charging you can win one of EBAY for SSAUTOCHROME. good seller with fast shipping. I've bought from them a couple times.
