does anybody know anything about these systems

 

Yes
do not buy it
it does not fit correctly
OBX started sending out garbage for product. I was selling the OBX products for a couple years.I have one of the first sets of headers and love them.

The catback systems have a couple issues
one
the tips are now completely different than what is actually advertised.
two
the catback will not fit correctly. The muffler will hang 4 inches below your car. The bends are not right.
I had a customer who bought the catback and we had to have him go to a local exhaust shop to get it repaired to fit correctly

sad thing is the customer told me it sounded amazing.


The Headers
of the last handfull i shipped
the passenger sid efitment was not that great. We also had 3 people with the 02 sensor bungs messed up and the 02 sensors would fit into them

I dropped OBX from my product line because of the horrible customer service and the fact that when there is a problem they do not want to stand behind the product.

The ricer crowd might not care about quality and correct fitment but I wouldnt stand for it for any of my customers.

Its sad as they started out with something really nice for the money and then had to mess up a good thing

Anyone want more info send me a PM

Well Dennis that don't sound real good and I have a set of OBX headers and xpipe waiting to b put on mine now. I bought it from another forum member brand new for a good price, so I hope it is one of the sets that fit properly......

 

does anyone have a good system for sale that is louder than stock?????

 

Sorry to scare you. I think you have had yours for awhile now. If so you should be fine. The headers were great until recently. I only had a couple bad ones and that was abend on the passenger side was causing the header to angle up toward the floorboard. Thier idea of a fix was send it back and they would send out a replacement. Well the replacement was the same way.


The catback I wouldnt wish on anyone.


The headers I would actually consider offering. BUt OBX and the horrible customer they offer not only to me but a customer of mine ruined it for me offering thier products.

I just wont stand for it and offer something I know has issues just to make a buck or two. I would not do that to you guys.

Integrity= Dennis has it!

 

So Dennis what recourse is there for the few of us that got the OBX headers that don't fit very well? I got them on be fit is awful.

 

I have both of these systems and they both sound great and there is no problem carrying on a conversation with them while cruising, WOT is and entirely different story though

 

Anyone else have the OBX headers that don't fit? Would like to know what you did to make them fit, mine are totally #?*! up.

 

They wont do anything if they have been on the car Jim and the car has been started/run

They would have wanted your second set back for repair or replacement

 

i have the obx system from front to back....love them obx longtubes with catless midpipe with x, and over axle setup...does take a little bit more adjusting to get everything lined up, but turned out good.....sounds killer with h/c/i....

 

Well back when OBX were all the fad I was loving my LGs.... people argued for the OBX...still loving my LGs.

 

I remember when that happened. I had DYNATECH LTs then and I am getting ready to put those on my 2003 ZO6, so I am a firm believer of sticking with what has worked well and provided great workmanship.

LGs
ARHs
DYHATECH

These have all been good to me and my buddies, so I rank them in this order for quality design and fit!

They were good at one time

my headers I bought a couple years ago I have no complaints on.

The new ones....thats a different story

 

They probably needed to make more profit off each set. They already screwed themselves on pricing so all they could do is make a cheap set of headers even cheaper.

I have spent over $35,000 in modifications on my cars over the last ten years. The one very tough lesson I have learned is you get what you pay for.

 

 

HEy Russ, the one I sold u was from one of the 1st batches made so it should have no problems. Alex goes on break in Dec so we should be getting the ca up your way soon unless his Mom talks him into another car. Later,Gary

 

Sound wise, the OBX sounds pretty good. As others have said the fitment of their products weather it be headers or catback isn't consistent. Some had no problems while others needed to make some adjustments.

 

well i just got my obx catback and will be installing soon , will post back within the week wish me luck ...
