+1. The problem I had with the OBX was the turbo outlet at one bell dumped straight into the wall of pipe. There was such a sharp bend right at the bell lip/seal that the wall would get a direct shot of hot exhaust continuously. Talk about poor flow. I cleaned up the other stuff but I could not get past that.

But yeah, $1k+ for some down pipes? Get real. The Akro guys are delusional. Still some people will buy anything.
