Obx Muffler Replacement


Mossback

Recommended Posts

I had a 51/2 hour drive last week and the OBX drone gave me a headache.

So I replaced the muffler and tip with something that would not reduce the performance.

I've been getting some PM's on the replacement characteristics since I put the OBX stuff up for sale.

Magnaflow satin stainless oval and a decent quality double wall tip. (no resonator)

I did a sound bite too, a little quieter than it really sounds but much smoother.

Sound nice... I don't get the point of having a exhaust, which is already fu**ing loud at 2500rpm, thats why i like my simons that much. It's getting lout at about 4000rpm and when just cruisin on the highway its not any louder than the normal R-Exhaust.

That does sound good. I normally don't notice drone to much with the windows closed (obx set up). Even on the highway, I normally just turn my music up a bit and call it a day. I could see how it would get annoying to some.. if not most.

It would've been awesome if you recorded a video in the same location/same camera of the OBX muffler...that way we could compare the two using a consistent method. You wouldn't happen to have a vid of the OBX, would you?

Full 3" turboback with only one oval magnaflow muffler at the rear.  Even the 2.8k RPM drone is extremely bearable.  GF doesnt complain and we can hold conversation just fine.

most important factor

oh and what is the model number of that muffler you got OP??

No, I thought about it but the opportunity arrived at a local shop on Saturday and it happened. Sorry

I don't have the specific part number but the model is described as Magnaflow Satin Stainless Oval.
