I am not sure about OBX cat backs but I have had long tube headers with X pipe for about a year and have never had any issues with them, the sound is amazing without cats and the price you can't beat. Why buy headers for double the price? Just make shure you get a good tune.

That is what I was thinking when I bought them, just waiting to get my MaxJax lift and get it install so I can put them on...

Default obx catback for c5

purchased recently. had professional install. needed mods and improved clamping. once all said and done price was similar to low end corsa or borla. MC

PS I had borla stinger on another c5 but i prefer the sound of the obx system.

ok , i recently got my obx catback system installed, cost 150 at a local shop, yes there was sligh problem on the passenger side , the big problem was that it was hitting against the tranny. This is not a do it yourself system so dont try unless u have the right tool but it does sound amazing i love how it looks , its not a bad buy so if you dont plan on doing it yourself than its ok to buy for the price..
