Me either. OBX are Chinese knock offs from what I hear. A few viper guys cheaped out and bought these and found out the hard way...They can crack after a while.


My advice is save your money and buy quality when you can.

I totally agree
I had a set of JBA shorties on my 4.7 that also cracked- after the warranty had run out. They were decent to deal with, but it still cost me a couple hundred and time
Has anybody had any issues with the ARH long tubes?

I got some Obx's over the holidays they had the polished ones for a lil over 500 shipped so I went ahead and got them. Should be installing them the next time we have a semi warm weekend. Plan on doing a how to on them also with lots of pictures. They look good. But you can tell the tubing is thinner. But I'll see how it goes over time.

Obx also sells the extensions. I got 4 of them for $36 dollars.

Can you measure the tubing thickness with a set of calipers? Would be nice to know the differences between these and the ARHs.

If I can remember I'll try and get something from work to measure them with before I put them on.

Would love to hear them and know how they perform. $500 is a damn good deal. Where did you purchase them from? eBay?

Are people getting check engine lights with these "cats"?. Just received my set and the cats are just resonators.

Of course you will. The rear 02 sensors are looking for certain oxygen levels and without the cats it will be wa off. You need a tuner to **** off the rear 02s or maybe spark plug non fouled a with steel wool?

Can you explain why you think the quality is so bad?
