Default OBX "longtubes"

You guys seen these?

Price seems a bit high from that company. Anyone tried them or know someone who's tried them?

Looks like they sell mainly to import cars.
I'm not too sure I'd want to be the guinea pig for them.

Not to bad of a price for stainless with Y and cats. The OBX stuff has a pretty good name in the WRX crowd. I may be considering these soon. I like the idea of stainless here in WI but not ready to a $1K for a set.

I seriously doubt those are cats. They're probably "high flow" cats, aka resonators.

Holy hell. Theyre stainless!!!

I want to see how thick those flanges are. Bout dam time somebody made some SS stuff that doesnt run over a grand. Slap those on and get 'em all tigged up! Screw band clamps.

Look like those Magnaflow ones.... I might consider selling the Pacesetters I have sitting in the garage and getting those instead...I just wish those headers didn't have that EGR/air injection plate. We don't have that **** in Texas.

Man those look nice for the price. They look very similar to the Dynatech's for a fraction of the price. I need some headers and I am about to get an FLT tranny so what better time to put some headers on too.
