Full OBX Catback Exhaust Review
The Delivery
So when the exhaust arrived it was in two large packages. The exhaust was relatively clean, and had little damage. http://www.flickr.com/photos/117962816@N08/12592213425/http://www.flickr.com/photos/117962816@N08/12592213425/For such a cheap alternative, the exhaust isn't all that bad. I'd love to dyno the car to search for the actual power gains from it but who knows. Before this exhaust I had a Megan Axle Back Racing exhaust (for sale) with test pipes. This setup has a MUCH deeper tone, but from 3-4.5k RPM's it does sound kind of "ricey". But since I cruise a lot to save gas, I love it! It drones inside the cabin pretty loudly. But honestly that's what I wanted! I also have test pipes, which I'm sure, make this exhaust twice as loud if not more. I also took it out and really pushed it too. If you floor it with this exhaust it really does sound good. So I'll give this exhaust an overall rating... Sound: 7/10 [B]Quality:[/B ]9/10 Price: 10/10 And I'll leave you with some more pictures... http://www.flickr.com/photos/117962816@N08/12592341193/http://www.flickr.com/photos/117962816@N08/12592343963/http://www.flickr.com/photos/117962816@N08/12592260245/http://www.flickr.com/photos/117962816@N08/12592706354/ <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/117962816@N08/12592267775/" title="DSC_0269 by millz4free22, on Flickr"><img src="https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7373/12592267775_1d351cf3b1.jpg" width="500" height="332" alt="DSC_0269"></a> |
Good review. How much was it & is this for sedan or coupe?
|
Thanks. I got it for around $700 and for the coupe. Not sure if they make the catback for the Sedan.
|
Are you going to make a video of it? I was on the button to buy it but I fell off when I saw the Beluga racing exhaust. I ordered it this weekend and should have it by next week. If anything I'll cut out the resonator and replace it with a Vibrant Ultra Quiet but I think I'm safe seeing multiple vids and on the 370z boards someone dynoed with pretty nice results.
|
The beluga sounds the best of the cheap exhausts IMO. Wonder about the long term quality but you can't beat the price and sound
|
Yup, sounds better than some of the mid price units also. I put OBX LT's on my Titan and the quality wasn't Nismo quality but they were just as good as the rest of the headers on the market. The only issue I had was that they discolored, but I expected that with the heat. Either way it's a cheap lesson to learn for better or worse.
|
Im eyeing this exhaust as well. I just want an after market exhaust to cruise with. Please post a video! Thanks for the info!
|
Still no sound clips? Where are the pics installed?
|
Wonder if this was ever installed.
|
Any more pics of the wife/daughter?
|
I went ahead and purchased it as well
It comes with everything attached.. the bolts, gaskets and silencer. I'll try to have a sound clip sometime this week. (I still have the silencer attached) Here are shots just by looking under the car http://i62.tinypic.com/2z6xa1c.jpg and http://i60.tinypic.com/28qz0vb.jpg |
Quick Sound Clip
|
lol
Why is it shaking?
|
Do you have test pipes or does the exhaust have that hiss/rasp all by itself? My Invidiia Q300 had that noise when paired with HFC but not quite as much or maybe it sounded less prominent because it was quieter overall.
|
Sounds ok other than that hiss
