Default OBX Exhaust?

I've seen their headers but not the cat-back. Anyone have experience with this or any idea what it sounds like?

looks like a Corsa rip-off and the tips look good too... cant tell if they're double wall but 4" none the less

I saw this the other day and was curious to see how its sounds, I'm sure quality and fit is so so, but i bet they skimp on the packing in the mufflers so it will be pretty loud over time.

Never know tho, buy it and post some clips....

If it is anything like their headers it may be worth the buy. I have had fairly decent luck with their headers. They cheap out on things like hardware but the finish is fairly decent. I would expect the fitment to be half *** but workable. If you get it post up some sound clips. I may be interested in this

One of my buddies bought a header from them for his cobalt it had perfect fitment and quality in my opinion was unbeatable for the price.

If it sounds like **** just get another muffler. At $299 its a bargain. Remember your going to be getting cheap *** chinese stainless steal. Its going to be really thin and feel kind of weak compared to other systems. A plus is that it is lighter!

Yea but if your going to pay 300 for this and 80-100 for a decent muffler why not just spend 400-450 on a good system. I can see going with their headers b/c there stainless and half the price of other stainless but I wouldn't go with a knock off brand if its close to the same price of a name brand
