Default OBX exhaust is installed. First impressions.

Hey guys,

Well I got the OBX exhaust and here is the break down on cost to get it to Ottawa Ontario, Canada given the fact that I drove to Ogdensburg to pick it up.

Cost with shipping 494.00
Border fees, toll fees etc 57.00
Gas to get there and back 25.00
Installation at Tapp auto 160.00

Total = 726

Really, not bad for a stainless steel mandril bent performance exhaust. It's a little louder than stock but a wider diameter tubing and breathes MUCH better.

Overall I'm very pleased. It costs far less than a stock exhaust and looks very sexy on the car not to mention the welds are actually quite well done. I'm assuming that there may be a slight improvement in mileage but that remains to be seen. The sound is something I'll have to get used to as it was never my intention to have a performance sounding exhaust. Also I asked the tech at Tapp who has installed several cat back exhaust systems and he said that there really isn't much difference between OBX and the more expensive sets (Magna flow, Borla and Milltek)

For those of you that are looking to get something to replace your aging stock exhaust system and want to keep things fairly cheap I would HIGHLY recommend this exhaust system. I'll try to post a pic and do a vid of how it sounds for those interested.
