i bought some headers for my old na and i had to grind them down a little to make them fit. but for the most part a good product. so good name for me.

what bad have you heard? I like their mufflers

I can't comment on their quality, but fyi the dp in that link doesn't look to be a true 3" flange to flange.

They have a reputation about as credible as APC in my book.

It's not, it's 2.5" from the elbo flange through the flex section, then opens up to 3".

That dp and ones like it, make a good stock replacment and thats about it.

I heard OBX products are made by children in mongolian caves.:dunno:

Right, so he might as well spend a few more bucks on a used bic dp or the like since those also replace the restrictive elbow. Got my bic dp used for about $180 shipped.

OBX is the cheap company that suppiles your local rice with incrediably annoying mufflers.

cheap chinese company. i have one of those downpipes, it works and doesn't leak or anything- i like how it has the flex section- but it is not true 3in. it goes to 2.5in up by elbo like a lot of other downpipes. if u find a used one for dirt cheap, like i did, then go for it but i would save and get a bic. i dont expect the obx to last long, cheap quality metal. YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR!!

I have a set of OBX headers on my NA. Robert (935 Motorsports) actually said they were better than pacesetters. Sorry, no long term verdict though. 7M-GE = dead.

 

[supra_ed]

pacesetter is another cheap company

I would stay away from anything obx.

Me being a member of honda-tech for a few years...Ive seen plenty of "is this OBX blah blah blah good?" threads. For the most part, everything they make sucks balls.The only good thing they have is their LSD for honda trannys...Theres guys running 600+whp on their LSDs without any problems and most of these guys go to the track at least once a week.The only thing is you have to dissassemble them and make sure everything is put together correctly before you use them. So yea their honda LSDs work(as a cheaper option to the $800 quaife unit)..Everything else they make is pretty much crap from what ive seen/heard.
