Default Which Ebay SS LongTubes should I go with

Hey all,
There are 2 decent looking stainless steel long tubes that Im looking at purchasing and wanted to see if anyone here has had any experience with them. Im on a real tight budget and like everyone else want to get the most bang for my buck.

Ive seen quite a few posts on the OBX and it seems like they are pretty good, but Im not sure about the other set. I currently have a B&B triflow cat back but want to change to true duals in the future. Which do you suggest?

The Unknown Brand:
your link was here...

OBX:
and here to.

Thanks,
Shane

get the stainless ones sold on this site. They are $450 for just headers. Not bad.

XS, the OBX are very hit and miss and they DO NOT have cats, they are bullets made to look like cats.

I read that sticky and I only posted the links so people knew what I was refering to. I wasnt comparing them with any sponsors so I dont think Im "breaking the law". I was asking for peoples experiences with the 2 that I posted is all.


Tainted:
Are the ones in the "Unknown" link XS headers? I saw a post that had a GP on the XS but I just missed it. Honestly I dont care about the resonators as I would probably change them out for some magnaflow metallic cats of the same looks and dimensions and maybe use the reso's toward the tips. I just need a setup with y pipe to get me up and running until I can gather the funds.

Thanks

I'm liking the looks of the "unknown" brand.... The Y-pipe on them looks nicer as well the way it's constructed to meet up...
