OBX 3" Catback

Has anyone put this on their car? Seems like a cheap way out for a cat-back.

I'm just concerned with weld quality/pipe gauge (has to survive winter here in Canada, eh). Also, if the fitment is correct.

You can get the magnaflow catback for just a little more if you know where to look. SS and lifetime warranty.

Magnaflow?

I've never heard the OBX, but I do know they make good products, because I've used alot of their stuff in the past. And besides, I have a buddy who did all eBay exhaust, which was cheap, but he's had it for 2 years now, still very much intact, and it sounds AMAZING!

OBX is known for one big thing, headers for Honda's. They tend to make parts for N/A cars, they have a decent exhaust for the Impreza. I can't comment on quality of materials.

To get to Canada....I have yet to find one less than $600. The only thing for $600 here is a used Borla someone is selling locally for the Ralliart.

The Magnaflow exhaust for the Ralliart is really good 0 fitment issues, 3" pipes, stainless steel, sounds great, etc...

Sadly, I can't get a Magnaflow in Canada for less than $600....therefore, not helping.
