    Which exhaust setup?

    Ok so I saved up enough money for a new exhaust system header back and I am thinking between 3 choices.

    1. OBX 4-2-1 header, OBX "high-flow cat" and Magnaflow cat-back.

    2. Same as Above except Apexi WS2 cat-back.

    3. HKS muffler with custom bent 2.5 piping.

    What do you guys recommend? In the near future I want a turbo, but not anytime soon... I want a deep sounding exhaust that won't annoy me on the highway.

    I would go with #1. Ive been hearing a lot of good things about obx. I personally have a ebay header 2.25" cat and custom 2.25" inch exhaust. I really felt a difference.

      really can't go wrong with either of the exhausts listed.

      * the apex ws2 would be my pick considering i have the ws1; has a nice, deep, mellow tone

      *the magnaflows are good too, its just that at higher rpms, it tends to have a buzz-like tone

      *nothing wrong with hks, just not a fan of custom piping coz not all muffler shops do a great job, unless its mandrel bent.

        Ok I am trying to decide between Magnaflow and Apexi, my brother can get me the Mag for $380 wholesale, he says its better quality than Apexi. On the other hand, I can get Apexi from egay for $400 shipped to my door... Decisions decisions.

            obx headers a great. Performance is awesome and they also turn a cool brass like color after installing and breaking them in.

            Personally, I like the ws2. When i have the money to do a cat back upgrade, the ws2 would be it.
