OBX opinions anyone?

How is the OBX exhaust systems? I've been shopping for an exhaust, and they seem to be the most reasonably priced of the 'name' systems. Goods, bads, personal experiences preferred. thx

You looking at having a muffler welded on? They dont make anything Fit specific.
BTW- I don't know about their quality.

I'd buy it if you dont want to spend much money on an exhaust. I saw this one before too but just went with an axle back. I mean how much power could you get from an exhaust on the Fit anyways, regardless of brand. 1-2HP? LOL. As far as quality, I dont have any first hand experience, but I remember seeing their products in tuner magazines back in like 2002 when i was in highschool. So apparently OBX has been around for quite some time

Weird. When I go on their site, Choose HONDA, fit isn't even listed in their drop-down menu. I assumed that meant they didnt make anything.

Medium quality, but for the price.....

Maybe need adjustement or inside finish (good exterior finish, but bad interior finish)

I have a Race header for my EP3 and my FIT GD, and for theses two, i must made littles corrections (for good performance, but that's can be mounted withour theses corrections)

OBX FTL- their a cheap useless company that shouldn't be put on any self respecting car owners car. IMO. A buddy of mine bought a OBX race header for his EP3 and the things fit like shit, it was 1/2"-3/4" short. IMHO you'd be better off going to meineki or some random muffler shop and have them bend you something right there and then. Save your money and wait until you can afford something halfway decent not OBX garbage.
That is all
