A muffler is a muffler. What’s important is the material and overall design, regardless of who makes the thing or who’s NAME is on it (Yes folks, there’s SEVERAL reputable companies (ok, make that MOST) that have mufflers made by other manufactures most of which are in China).
The OBX mufflers are full stainless in and out, have a non-louvered perforated core, and all are packed with stainless wool and some have stainless wool packing surrounding the core with additional ceramic packing out side of that. Pretty much ANY straight through muffler will make the same power as a straight pipe given there’s no necking down or louvers. It’s just a matter of material construction and sound absorption. Your *** dyno will never feel the difference between one straight through muffler from another, but you'll hear a difference.
Draw your own conclusions from this.
