Anyone used the 'Version 2' OBX Catback exhaust?

I have searched and read BahamaBart and others review of the OBX, but they all seem to be of the 'Version 1' which was a copy of the SuperSprint and required you to use part of your existing exhaust.

Looks like they have updated the design, it is now a complete unit and the tips are attached (and, better looking!) (pics below)

Has anyone used this new version? Any thoughts on fitment, sound, etc? It does not have a front resonator, but the two mufflers are of pretty decent size...

Having a R-Speed catback on my old '06, I know that I will not be getting huge amounts of power. I would just like to bump up the sound a little without getting a honda fart-can effect.

(I KNOW there are much better exhausts out there, I am just not willing to pay the price!

Thank you!

Braminator, I think an icon for crickets would be more fitting!

I was referring to the crickets I was expecting to hear! This subforum has gotten pretty quiet.

Anyway, found this video and asked the guy, sounds like he was using the 'Version 2'. Exhaust sounds similar to videos of the first one.
