I was just lookin around on ebay and seen this kit for sale. Has anyone bought one of these kits before? And in you opinion how does it sound? Also does this delete the second cat under the car or does it bolt up to it. BTW I have a 2.4 with a OBX-R 4-1 header on it right now with no first cat. I just dont want it to delete the second cat and be whiny and sound like crap.

From my understanding, they are a decent fit. I know there where some guys on here that had them and like it. But you have to remember, it is eBay. You get what your paying for. So fitment and quality come into question. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
I had this ebay catback on for 4 years. it bolts on after the hi-flow cat. No problems...ever. /thread
Do you have pics of muffler in the back? I just want to see what muffler looks like from a distance. If you could thanks.
Wow ok that sounds good then, Good thread. Thanks.
I take it your car is California spec, so do your cat unbolt from the factory header and bolt on to the new long tube header?
That's if you have a long tube header or is it a shorty header? Pics would be nice

It is a short OBX-R 4-1 header, and the car is not a california model.
You said in your post that you have a second cat so I assume you deleted the first cat near the header when your installed the obx header, which would make the car a California spec.
reason i ask this is because the factory down pipe has the cat welded to it and its not removable,
if you installed a obx header, some of them come with its own down pipe removing the cats all together,
and some of them are just the header alone and you connect it to the factory down pipe leaving the the second cat
if you still have your second cat yes it will bolt up leaving your second cat in place.
my G is a fed spec, only has one cat under the car, and the exhaust mani is a 4-2-1 set up and looks like this

This is the one I have

for cali spec there is a cat on the mani, you still have the factory down pipe so the cat back will bolt up with no issues,
if you had the full obx header system with the down pipe i think it removes all the cats together, i could be worng here,
The o2 sensor hole is before the second cat, Why would they put a o2 sensor hole after the second cat on the after market one? There is a hole for it before the second cat already, Are they trying to relocate the o2 sensor after the second cat to trick the computer so you dont get a CEl?

In this case you have an o2 before and after the cat, since you VSOP spec

Just for exhaust sound or tone this exhaust setup will sound good as long if you dont delete the second cat. I had an exhaust that was similar to this but it was made by genki tuning, they also have their own website. I had liked the sound of the exhaust before i installed the OBX race header which deletes the second cat converter, the main cat delete made it sound to raspy to me, now i have the megan racing exhaust with magnaflow high flow cat.
Sounds good guy's I am probably going to go with the cat back exhaust on ebay with the OBX-R 4-1 header witch deleted the first cat. But I am going to leave the second main cat under the floor. I am going to put new o2 sensors while I am at it. Hopefully no CEL comes on. Thanks for the help guys.
