Exhaust Question???

Hi was wondering what you guys thought of the OBX exhaust for the MC. Do you know if it is loud? What does it have a clean crisp sound?
I asking this cause they are on ebay for about $250.

I also am considering the Magnaflow exhaust on Outmotoring.com but it is twice the price.

Your input is very appreciative.

Thank you in advance.

Chris

I have seen Magnaflow the company selling their exhaust systems on Ebay too with free shipping. Might want to check them out.

Any preferences? which sounds better?

Magnaflow is the loudest of the exhausts that I have heard, I like the sound, but many other MINIers that I have talked to dislike it because it is loud.

Thank you for that WindMeUp. I was wondering if it was loud. It resembles the Apexi N1 exhaust, and it is a loud exhaust. I am looking for an exhaust that isn't too loud but sounds a little throaty.

Check out the Remus

Here's a review. I had one on my Cooper and really liked the sound. Went to this after a Borla, which had a great sound but created some cabin resonance.

I found it on Bavarian AutoSport for $409.95. Is that the best I will find? or has anyone seen it cheaper?
