Default New exhaust pics!

I while ago I bought the Monza eBay catback for my gs400 a while back for 350$ and it was nice for the price. I didn't really care for the look of the tips though. I needed a muffler for my 97 BMW m3 and OBX was one of the only people that made one with a dual inlet and outlet. I bought it for $50 on eBay, and surprisingly it was amazing. Nice sound and performance. Long story short I decided to take a shot with them again, cause I didn't want to spend a lot. I kept the Monza y pipe and had my $50 stainless obx mufflers put on. I think It looks sexy and sounds amazing once again! Sounds like a crisp muscle car! Anyways a lot of people hate on this forum with budget stuff, but I like it and hopefully it will give other people a different cheaper option than the usual Tanabe, Apex, magnaflow, ect... I will post a sound clip so you guys can hear it.

Those don't look bad. I bet they don't sound bad either. How about some more angle pics of the muffs?

this should be the same setup as what Top Speed Pro sells on eBay. this one is just from another company. There's a few sellers on eBay selling this setup. I have the high flow y pipe into blitz mufflers and it's sounds great.

Mufflers are 2.5 in 4" tip out. This is not any kit you can buy. It's not the same as the eBay kit, it is just obx mufflers that I had put on with custom piping after my old y pipe. It's all custom and the mufflers I used I had to make them angled up and out to fit properly. The quality of these mufflers is way better than the a1 stuff on eBay. The model muffler I used has to be custom angled out and up and or else they won't fit straight because they are not offset like the apex ws mufflers. They make other designs and sizes, just this is what I wanted to do. Just another note for u guys, when I had my Monza eBay catback, my car lost a lot of torque down low. The piping was too big and the muffler had no restriction and didn't work well for n/a application. My 2.5" piping and mufflers has way better response and got my low end torque back.

sorry time I was referring to your old setup. not to be confused with the obx setup.

I myself would like the smaller tips rather than the blitz. do you have a link to the obx?

Yah, my old setup was the same as the top speed pro stuff. It's all the same stuff just renamed. Here is the link where I got mine. I have seen it as low as $49 each on amazon, but you just have to search around. I'll have more pics and sound clip tomorrow.

Yup this is the same one im looking to get. To me it has to be the best sounding cheap mufflers I have ever seen. The one I want though has the 3" inlet and a 4.5" outlet for $100 a muffler
