Default Re: Does the OBX Catback Drone?

I have the OBX headers, and Maximizer cat back. No drone, not super loud. Just beware they need some massaging to put in. I welded all the joints, the clamps suck.

Picked up a set of OBX headers and a Maximizer exhaust. Under $1000 for both, amazing.

Anybody know what this is for and what you do with it?

That the hook-up for EGR. I had Marc turn off EGR and the pipe on the header was sealed off.
Also, don't use band clamps that comes with OBX exhaust - junks! Go with Torca band clamps.

Thanks for the tip...

I cut it off and welded it shut. Eliminated EGR and smog stuff.

I asked Ami over drinks one evening: "If there was one thing about me that made you decide to marry me, what would that be?" Without a moment of pause, she said: "THE VETTE!!"

She bought her own 69 vert. And, I asked her what she wanted for her birthday, and she said; "Side pipes!" A little surprised at that - coming from a woman, afterall - I said. "OK. But, why side pipes?"
"They'll make it more RUMBLY!" she said!

While riding Mountain Run 2, she learned that Brett was selling his Turq Monster. (a cammed, ported, coil-overs, 5-point harnesses, 3" B&B exhaust w/ SW headers, turquoise, 91 ZR-1). Now she owns 2 Vettes - Both very "RUMBLY"!

(We met when I recruited her to represent IL on a competition rifle team....but that's another story! But, like I said, Maybe y'all married the wrong wimin!)

Default Re: Does the OBX Catback Drone?

So is this system quieter than the corsa system? Corsa is fine, but screams at WOT.

How does the maximizer system compare to it or are they pretty much the same?
