OBX exhaust...crap or just cheap??

Hello all,

I was honestly surprised to find OBX even makes a fit exhaust. I've run across some of their stuff before in the Volvo community, and while it IS cheap compared to nicer systems, it's generally perfectly functional for the budget-minded.

Anyway, has anyone used the OBX Fit exhaust? Hanger fitment is ok? Not too droney?

It's $250 for the entire catback on amazon with free shipping.

Thanks for any feedback you guys can provide!

Phil

Ha! There's a grand total of 1 youtube videos of the obx exhaust, and it's from the outside on start-up. I was hoping for more general feedback from the community.

The video:

I suppose for $250, if it sounds like crap from the inside, I could just keep the mid-pipes and get a better axle-back exhaust.

Then no youtube videos available for the exhaust at all, which is surprising given the cost of the catback.

Speaking of which, my package showed up today, but OBX sent me their header and testpipe instead of the catback exhaust. FML...
