OBX mufflers?

[mcdizzle]

anybody use one of these, my stock muffler rusted through and i need to get a new muffler. i was thinkin about pickin of these up and having a local muffler shop run 2.5 inching piping witha resonator. just wondering if these are any good.

[InvaderTrax]

They're pretty average. My friend has a full 3" cat back OBX on his del Sol. It's loud as hell. If you're just trying to pick a muffler for a custom 2.5" setup, I doubt you'd see any power difference between a 4" tip OBX and an Apexi N1

i have a dual tipped obx with a resonator on mine with 2.5 inch pipe doesnt sound to bad sounds better with my h22 than it did with my f22a6.but not a bad setup.

its what i have right now, sounds great. i used to have the obx evo style muffler, never had any issues with it. quality was great, but i had to take it out cause of a fix-it ticket.

so with a resonator on there, it doesnt sound like a biplane does it? i want a nice sumwhat deep tone. i dont want to sound like a pissed off bumble bee goin down the road

not really. my exhaust will have a slight raspiness at times only cause ive never driven it with both the cat and resonator... its always one or the other.

this video is the most recent, from our norcal meet... if you havent seen it already.

hey guys i have and obx greddy evo i have a vibrant hi flow cat and like a 20inch cherry bomb and the muffler it kinda quiet u'll here the exhaust till 5,000rpm then vtec kicks in all u here is the filter i feel that it's restrictive what do u guys think

i wanna take the glasspack off and put a thermal muffler up there which sounds awsome but it was on a lude with no cat when it was on another car what u guys think i should do

[ssaccord92]

oh and i have 2.5 inch crush bent piping also

[ray ray]

im running mine with the cat and a resonator and its got a nice deep tone and i dont think your exhaust is that restrictive mine actually runs better the way it is now than it did when it was more open and sounded like shit.lol

[ssaccord92]

it still hauls ass i just miss it being alittle louder and hearing the vtec pop on i think it's the glass pack under their that's making it quiet i'll try that this weekend and let u know what happens

[HondaFan81]

i am getting one for both my accord projects, will inform you how it is when i get one installed. Spring 2006 I should have answer.

If its "quieter" when VTEC kicks in then I'd say hell yeah its restrictive. But for the price a shop is going to charge you to weld on a new muffler, you could buy a full catback and bolt it on yourself. I'd reccomend doing so, because if your muffler rusted out, there's no telling what your exhaust system looks like. If you go that route, make sure you get stainless so it won't rust.

Ive had one on my Integra now for a solid minute, and its very noticeable, it made my VTEC quite loud and my butterflies even louder (almost pops when vtec kicks in)...I'd honestly suggest a Ractive muffler, had one on my Nissan, gave it a nice tone with a lifetime warranty

[wrichards2005]

Hmm.. I'm not so sure about Ractive. If you strap a muffler on with no piping, basically what you have is: A noisemaker. Ractive, OBX, carbon fiber strap on mufflers, etc. are for ricers. Thats just my opinion.

^^, well i bought the box evo style muffler, but its not just to slap onto my stock piping, im having a local reputable muffler shop run 2.5 inch piping and a resonator as well for me.
