well im not a fan of obx products. even though some of their parts are decent.. such as their header for the av6. but most of their products don't get as good review. some people might disagree with me saying that obx arn't great, but personally i would stay away from them.
then again, im a big promoter for brand name products. company like greddy, hks etc... they have worked hard to get the reputation they have now, and their product shows such dedication.

my homie has an obx canister style muffler... it sounds like shit to me

I'm not really a big fan of OBX either. But what they do, is basically take another companies product, copy it almost exactly, and put their name on it. I've heard on some products they use the other companies same exact product and just put their name on it. And on other sites, I have heard some good reviews on some of their products too. So basically, if you want to save money, OBX is probably a decent brand to buy to save money. But I'd rather save a few more dollars and buy a major brand like culmination said.

OBX is like a walmart t shirt. its cost effective but not as nice.

i have an obx muffler (with custom piping) and i'm happy.

I have to disagree with most of you. I think OBX makes quality stuff. I know their underdrive pullies are exactly the same as AEM's. It's like getting DC sports, AEM quality with out the price hit for the name. There may be some difference, but they ain't no Matrix or APC.

Then again this is just my opinion. I don't own any OBX stuff (yet)

That's what I was saying. They just copy another companies design. So to save money, they are probably the best of the cheaper companies.

I'm with the above, they just copy products, so they are the best of the cheap companies. and actually I think their styling is pretty good, They used to have a dual tip muffler (I can't find it anymore) but that was one sick muffler, (I got another dual tip one now) the obx one didn't have like 4" dual tips, they were like 2.25" or something like that, it was on the smaller side, but definitely added style. also I plan on getting their billet and carbon fiber shift knob and a billet and carbon fiber e-brake handle, and some grey racing pedals. again I can't say I'd buy any of their performance products although yeah the pullies are exactly the same as the aem ones, but for like shift knobs and crap, I think they got good styling (well good copied styling) and as long as it doesn't have any bullshit logo (their shift knobs don't), like type r or something, I'd put it on

I enjoy my obx canister intake! hahaha

i enjoyed my OBX mufflers... sounds pretty good, nice and deep i haven't had any prob w/ OBX yet... it's decent money for OBX just like everyone said, you get what you paided for. but those major brands is mostly the same, what you're buying is their name
