Question OBX Turboback Exhaust???

Does this exhaust system look any good, and would it be worth buying?

Thanks,
Junior

P.S. Doesn't it look like a GP Moto turboback?!?

I don't have any experience with OBX exhaust systems but I had one of their Boost gauges and it was a total piece of crap. I onl;y know one other person who had an OBX boost gauge and they had the exact same problems. Mainly that they read 4 psi low on boost and 4 inHg low in Vac. The calibration was horrible and it was missing the bulb assembly and OBX totally blew me off about it and never came clean .

So IMHO OBX is crap and you should stay away.

OBX is crap!!! Why do you think they sell them on eBay primarily? Cuz they're the cheap immitations of the real stuff. I know this from experience. I bought a high flow cat from eBay that was OBX brand because it was inexpensive. When i got it, i could look right through the pipe, and see right through as if it were a straight pipe. There wasn't any catalytic material in there at all. The only thing different about it was that the outer side of the pipe pertruded some to make it "look" like a cat. Ever since then, i don't trust OBX. Just remember, you get what you pay for.
