Ignoramus to tell you the truth I actually like the exhaust. Cheap ebay exhaust but it was stainless steel which I could not complain about. Since it was 3" all the way it didn't perform the way I wanted it to. It felt like I wasn't getting any back pressure at all and it was just breathing too much. Having the OBX caused my to use more gas, acceleration time was shortened, made the car uneasy to drive. Other than that I love it. If your planning on getting it, get 2.25 all the way to the muffler.

Looking good man. Its always good to see a nice clean, straight body car. Keep up the good work.
By the way while on the subject of exhaust, was it pretty loud or decently quiter for driving conditions?

Well thanks for the quick review! I'm thinkin I'll just snag this up for a temporary exhaust until I can get something nicer. I need to focus on saving up for a TII motor!

Icey: thanks. your build up really inspired me on how I want my 7 to look. hopefully t2 one day but not so soon.

batmanfc: the exhaust was a bit loud for my taste. If your into the whole drift/jdm scene, it's not that bad. For daily driving, I had a hard time hearing the radio and the passenger. (Sometimes not a bad thing)

Ignoramus: I bought the exhaust right when I got the car. My parents were complaining about how the straight pipe was too loud, which I agreed. I wasn't thinking long run and bought the obx. I loved the exhaust until I put on my racing beat.

If you have anymore questions, just ask me. Thanks again for viewing.

i like how you even switched the trim, a lot of people just put the s5 bumpers and forget about the trim.

So I brought out the car yesterday from hibernating and never got a sticker on it until yesterday. The first time I bring my baby out, I get ticketed for expired license sticker. The funny thing was I was actually on my way to get my sticker which was about 1/4 mile away. I just sucked it up and enjoyed my car ride. Screw the cop because I know he wasn't having a good day and he was just trying to ruin mine.

Also, what do you guys think about 17x9+35 for my new wheel set up? You think I will be rubbing in front? Wish I could run 9's in the back but the deal was for the whole set. These wheels will be Desmond Regamasters.

should have left the efan and cone filter.

Nice first car, you have good taste so far.

Yes to the Regamasters. Good choice. Size should be ok.

Curious.. since my RB exhaust hangs much lower on the driver's side like yours did in the first pic of your RB mufflers.. did you have to cut up some of the piping to lift it higher?

CS13B: I do not know how to get that muffler up more. I've been trying to find answers for that. I think I read that it's because of the rubber hangers. I could be wrong...If you do find an answer, anyone, please let me know. It is irritating.
