Default Anyone using OBX catback

I'm trying to find pictures or video of just the catback installed. Interested in sound quality, I'm sure its loud since it looks similar to the GHL bullet but I wonder if it sounds close. Thanks for the help!

I ran a similar request about OBX a month or so ago and never got a response...don't think too many are running them.

They had a few problems with the initial run. One of them was their brand tag or something similiar on the tips which didn't look too good.

Sounds like another "you get what you pay for " situation. There has got to be a reason more people are not running this exhaust. The Magnaflow is only a couple hundred dollars more and will probably last you much longer OR you could lurk around forum's parts for sale section and hope to get lucky

Their headers are nice! They just need to work the kinks out of the exhaust before going public.

I'm thinking of bringing mine out. I've been running them for a while now.
