For $100 I would not put something like that on a evo. If you cant afford to drive a evo, you can afford to save and put a quality piece on it.

I think i played with this OBX stuff when I had a 2g Talon back in the day.

After 3 months, everything was completely rusted besides the cat and the muffler. After about a year, everything was rust.

I had OBX seat rails for use for my Bride seats on my 2g Eclipse. They were complete garbage and a custom weld job had to be done for the damn things to fit. OBX is garbage, I wouldn't bother with lower grade made in china crap.

Looks just as good as any other 3in ebay exhaust. You can find some full TBE's for 100 on ebay though.

SS does not rust so if the flanges are SS too it'll last the life of the car.

-3in straight through
-limited bends
-SS

If it meets above you won't notice a difference . And i'm the idiot with the $800+ TBE too

That's what I was getting at, but forgot to say. The one I ordered said it was full stainless but was fully rusted after a year. This was at least 5 years ago, so who knows now. Good luck either way.

Only problem with the eBay exhaust is they rust really quick like what has been said. Other then that they are pretty good. Sound ok. Off course a high quality exhaust will sound better regardless.

there's not much engineering you can do with a 3" pipe. looks ok except for the bottle neck at the flange for the cat. make sure there no bottle neck in the resonator and exhaust also. i've used ebay exhaust before. they might weight a little more and fitments is not perfect sometime but it gets the job done.
