    Not sure about he muffler sound/quality itself, but this is what I see...

    - Good seller, lots of items and good feedback
    - price seems about right, not some cheap quality sh*t
    - shipping isn't too high, actually about right for UPS (though I hate UPS... long story)
    - mandrel bent (GOOD!)
    - tig welded (nice to see, most are MIG, not a huge difference though)

    my 56 cents.

    as far as the "axle back" exhaust unless you go TRD you might as well just get any universal muffler and have it welded to your existing piping...and you can find universal mufflers for like $50 on ebay

    I believe someone here brought a OBX cat back and gave good reviews on it. Haven't heard anything new tho.

    obx cat back doesn't exist.

    joel bought one, but the shop fucked him over, i believe.

    also, getting an axleback offers a lot of peace of mind: they bolt on, you do it yourself (dont trust anyone else with your car -- ever!) and save on installation costs. not to mention the shop wont trick you into "recycling" your muffler with them.

    They definately look good, I like the way the axle back looks. - Don't know how the sound is.
