Re: ebay obx catback exhaust

i personally like the flowmaster...a friend of mine has a 83 camaro with a 305 crossfire...he put a dynomax on his..its ok not as loud as i would like it..i think its cheaper then the flowmaster too

Re: ebay obx catback exhaust

Re: ebay obx catback exhaust

I installed one under my buddies GTA. The exhaust itself is pretty decent, he has a similar magnaflow system on another car. The OBX is louder ad the fitment on the Magnaflow is a little better. The clamps in the OBX kit are all junk, they are a size that fits nowhere, they are too large for the smaller connections and too small for the larger ones. They do not clamp the pipes at all. I ended up welding up most of it and using proper clamps in some locations. I also had to modify the pass side rear pipe, I had to elongate the section coming off the muffler to make the pipes sit symmetrical L & R
