Well, if anyone has checked out my page, I run a D16Y8 with the GReddy turbo kit. I currently use a custom A'PEXi N1 exhaust with mandrel bends, but I'm changing the muffler to an OBX MV1015 muffler (oval with a RSR-style tip). The canister muffler's looks annoy me now.

But does anyone know what it might sound like? Sound isn't that much of a concern -- I would've asked before I bought it then -- but I was just curious. I've never heard an OBX muffler before. Is it loud, whiny, and tiny sounding?

thx. :cool:

from what i know and from what people have told me OBX mufflers are louder than hell. But with a turbo set up I would think it would be a little whiny-er...if thats possible:crazy: but I dont have a turbo so...what do i know?

thanks for the input. don't matter what you have or not, just trying to get some feedback from those that have heard them or have heard stuff about them. so thanks! :) I'm totally in the dark about these mufflers, but they carried one that I couldn't find from anyone else. hmmm, wonder if it'll make my car sound like a lawnmower. :D

anyone else? i've been getting some mixed reviews over on another board. some say it's good, some say it's poo poo. I'll know soon enough, though (appt. in 2 weeks). I'll try and put up a small MPEG for those that care ... and for my own personal enjoyment. :crazy:

I have an OBX B5 muffler on my 97 Civic EX Coupe, and I am very happy with it. Mine (i don't know about yours) has a nice deep, throaty sound. Not too loud, not annoying, and can be quieted down by using the optional silencer. I don't know if the silencer works with yours.

OBX mufflers are crap, i had one, it fell apart and when i removed it to put on a different one there was a damn hole in the top of it from rust.
pos muffler, pos, pos, pos.
