Default cheaper Exhausts? - OBX

Ive read some posts with people using a cheaper brand exhaust - $300-400 and they really enjoyed the exhaust and used the money for other mods. I have seen an OBX exhaust on Ebay that looks really good and is fully stainless steel. Has anyone used or heard this exhaust. Looks alot like stock but with thicker diameter piping and fully polished for only 375 shipped. What you guys think?

idk dont bash on the guy.... some poeple dont have 900-1500 to spend on a new exhaust... and some people dont feel like gettin scammed buying a used.


Im a college kid with barely any income... thats why im consideing the Topspeed exhaust (plus i looove the sound and want something loud)


I fully understand where he is comming from...


If you want somethin cheap look at...

a) top speed pro1 -345 shipped
b) Megans (i think they are improving their quality) 400-500
c) used

if you don't have $1000 to spend on an exhaust then you shouldn't be buying a 350z; you obviously can't afford it.

Oh wait, I forgot about today's American attitude - debt up the wazoo them complain abotu the price of gas and mods

Are you taking about the internationally renowned OBX racing cat-back exhaust that we all have been raving about for the past six months?

Default here's the deal

Why pay $1000 for a exhaust system when you can get the same results with a cheaper one. There's nothing wrong with trying to save money. I saw a good deal and was wondering if anybody else had purchased this system

if you want a cheap alternative, get the greddy sp or apexi n1. i work at wal-mart and can afford a z by the way. it's what happens when you have good credit and get a 03 enthusiast for 16,000 with the silver plus warranty!!!

That's the most ignorant reasoning I've heard this century! I'm sick of people treating their Z as if it's a Ferarri, it's a freaking Nissan. Just because the guy bought a Z doesn't mean he can afford all the name brand shiet for it. He's smart for asking around, and also, an exhaust is an exhaust, why pay for a name brand at full price when you can get a used one or a not so popular brand for half the price? If it's sturdy and well made, then there ya go. You are a dumba$$ for having the mentality that just because you drive a Z, everyone should be paying out their a$$es for a name brand piece of mod when instead the same gain can be had with a less expensive non popular brand.

wait...what am I thinking.....

Let's see; you can "afford" a 350z but you can't afford an extra $300-600 to get a quality, non-ebay-piece-of-**** exhaust. Hmmmm

Hey *******... i paid for the Z in cash in full at the age of 20. All that money was earned by me and saved up by me. So aka no debt. Also its a NISSAN get over it. I mean i love the car, its great but its still a damn NISSAN. Also By buying the 350z I dont remember signing a contract stating that I have to be a tuner and spend every penny I have on mods. A car is a poor poor investment. Why spend 1.5k on an exhaust that you will never get back? Aka spend 300-400 on something I want(topspeed) and be happy with it. Im sick of dumbasses like you trash others. You remind me of those STR-4 kids who trash on other cars and think that they are gods.

As for debt, I have about 13-15k in the bank right now. If i wanted to I could get a TT kit or w.e. But that money is going for a downpayment on an appartment or something else.

Now please STFU.



Final note. Its his car. He can do whatever he wants.
