Default Just in case you weren't convinced OBX is crap...

I recently bought an OBX catback from ebay. I tried to read as many reviews as possible before I bought it. Some people were thrilled with their purchase, while others were pretty disapointed. The exhaust only cost $275, and for such a good deal, I'd figured I'd risk it. Oops.

Not only was the fitment terrible, the damn thing didn't even have a resonator! I don't mean that in the sense that OBX doesn't put resonators on their catback. It's supposed to have a resonator...guess the guy that made my catback wasn't aware of that fact. I'm gonna try and get my money back, since the two pictures of the catback on the ebay listing both clearly show a resonator.

I feel like a jackass, 'cause I should know better!

Performance, Reliability, and Low Cost.....Pick Two!

sometimes sellers write somewhere in their post that the pictures being shown are not the actual pictures of the product.

That was the first thing I checked for (just to make sure it wasn't my fault). He didn't say anything about the picture being different. In fact, he put the manufacturer's picture as well a real-life-out-of-the-box-on-his-carpet picture as well. The item pictured had a resonator on it.

that's why i try and find only high quality used parts on ebay, that way you know the quality, plus i don't think i'll be ordering that many parts for my motor from ebay anyway.
