    Their exhausts aren't bad. Their AEM copy pulleys aren't the correct width and the belt will slip off. Their older LSD's had lots of problems, but their recent ones seem to be holding up much better. All I'm using of theirs is their iridium spark plugs because I got all 4 for $10 (much less then NGK or Denso). Been in there about a year and they're still working fine

      ah well its good to hear theyre exhausts arent horrible

      i knew i wasnt going to get something amazing, i didnt have the money to get an apexi or the greddy sp2, those were the two i had my eye on

      im just hoping its not all obnoxious and raspy, if so it just means ill be experimenting with some resonators the tone that down

      happen to know if the ehaders get discolored?

        You mean do they bronze after the first 5 minutes of running the car? Most stainless headers do. Anyway, it probably won't be raspy, but it'll be loud

          I have the obx header and cat back w/ test pipe resonator.

          The header does become discolored after it gets hot.

          The exhaust is pretty loud and a little raspy but can be toned down with a cat and resonators.

            Just put a resonator on there to silence it a bit.

              mine was raspy as hell till i put 2 12" resinators on it... and i just bought one of those ebay "high flow cats" which is acutally a resinator to get rid of my cat concidering CT isn't gonna have emissions testing anymore. Sounds good now...hope it sounds better after that is installed

                I think it might sound louder after you take off the cat and replace it with the ebay test pipe.

                I'm also thinking of making mine queiter. Did you simply weld the resonators into the piping? where did you get these from? btw, what diameter is your exhaust piping? 2.5"?

                  I think obx stuff is atleast two steps better than ssautochrome...I'd run obx parts if I got a good deal.
