Not too many threads on this, so I figured I'll give it a shot and see what answers I get.

Its cheap, just under $400. With that said, if anyone has this, preferably on a 2.5l, how does it sound?

I would be cautious on any exhaust that claims it is compatible with both the 2.5 and 3.5. They require slightly different piping, so there isn't going to be a one-size fits all exhaust. I doubt they'll toss in the 3.5 piece in every package (I think it's the short one in the photo) for no charge. Usually they will ask what your model is before shipping.

I would contact the seller and ask them about it. You're also protected when you pay with PayPal, so if you get a decent explanation, go ahead.

I personally went with the Borla for my 3.5. I'm not sure if Borla makes one for the 2.5. It was $631.95, no tax and free shipping. http://www.amazon.com/Borla-11762-Rear- ... B0019JONHM

Hey Ivan, ya it may seem like that only because of the price. But then again I hear "bang for your buck" so it could be a good deal.

And Right I agree Funkee, but I thought OBX was a pretty well known brand around here? Atleast I know some people with their headers. And yes, I know the 3.5 has that tiny little pipe that throw in, im not sure if thats all the 3.5 entails though. I'm on the edge with this one.

BTW, I think I should note that Nissan gave me a check of $205 (i have no clue why) so I'm thinking either putting that towards 1) exhaust 2)buy an intake 3) OEM spoiler or 4) fogs. I can probably get ebay fogs and spoiler for that price.

WAIT! Don't cash that check yet.

If there was a problem with your vehicle, they may send you a check as a settlement offer. By cashing it you accept the settlement, and you can no longer sue for whatever it is. Find out what that check is for before you cash it, or you might find yourself out of luck later on if there's something wrong with your car.

Its actually for registration of the vehicle that I didn't have to pay. Thats the reason ;)
