Default new pipes

finally took the leap and got the OBX pipes, and stripped off the old exhaust and installed the pipes today, WOW it sounds great I couldn't be happier, few minor bumps during the install but I think it was worth it.

What inserts are you running, or did you get the OBX already equiped with the resonators?

I got the ones with the OBX resonators, sounds good, kinda sounds a lil louder than I was looking for. but I can live with it, compared to the old stock sound its an amazing transformation. I will prolly pull off the headers over the next week and change the gasket again, I had a fell pro set, they leaked horrible, had to use the OBX one that came with it, not really digging those either but it will do until I get the set I want

Looks nice.

I agree, well worth the little bit of fitment issues compared to money saved. I had to drill out a few holes on the flanges and polish them up really nice. Luckily I didn't have to cut rocker panels.
