Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi everyone, Has anyone heard or tried the exhaust system from OBX? I've heard of this brand many times before, but don't know how it would sound on a Boxster. Its cheap for a muffler setup, and looks like good build quality too. http://www.racingpartdepot.com/servlet/the-2313/OBX-Exhaust-System-Porsche/Detail If anyone knows if they sound good, i might have to pick up a set.

POST 2Original post

Seen it on ebay... looks different than all others. I wonder how it sounds. Anyone?

POST 3Original post

I purchased a 914 header from them a year and half ago. Total nightmare. Long long story short... Geometry way off on header visibly would not line up even before trying to fit it. Seller refused to honor warranty, refused to refund or make right after multiple multiple attempts. Fair amount of chat about them on 914world.com Do not walk RUN from obx products.

POST 4Original post

i had an obx short tube header on a dodge neon commuter car years ago. it was stainless steel, fit well and was 1/2 the price of the name brand stuff. on a neon it was great. on a porsche i tend to think that while i'm all about saving a buck, i'd stick with the reputable firms out there. if the holes are mis-aligned on a the flange for a neon and you bugger up the head it's 100.00 from the junkyard. i think it's slightly more for a boxster head ;-) merry Christmas
