Hey guys,
Well I got the OBX exhaust and here is the break down on cost to get it to Ottawa Ontario, Canada given the fact that I drove to Ogdensburg to pick it up.
Cost with shipping 494.00
Border fees, toll fees etc 57.00
Gas to get there and back 25.00
Installation at Tapp auto 160.00
Total = 726
Really, not bad for a stainless steel mandril bent performance exhaust. It's a little louder than stock but a wider diameter tubing and breathes MUCH better.
Overall I'm very pleased. It costs far less than a stock exhaust and looks very sexy on the car not to mention the welds are actually quite well done. I'm assuming that there may be a slight improvement in mileage but that remains to be seen. The sound is something I'll have to get used to as it was never my intention to have a performance sounding exhaust. Also I asked the tech at Tapp who has installed several cat back exhaust systems and he said that there really isn't much difference between OBX and the more expensive sets (Magna flow, Borla and Milltek)
For those of you that are looking to get something to replace your aging stock exhaust system and want to keep things fairly cheap I would HIGHLY recommend this exhaust system. I'll try to post a pic and do a vid of how it sounds for those interested.

I chipped it with a Eurodyne reflash stage 1 at Tapp Auto here in Ottawa. Aside from the latest set of coil packs and the 710N diverter valve, it is stock. Still though, she is pretty fast.
Also, I'm not really looking to pimp it out or anything. The exhaust came about out of necessity and I do plan to eventually slap some 18 inch rims on but for now it's the exhaust system and fixing that stupid Rhino plug leak.
I tell you, if it's not one thing with these cars, it's another. I like it but sometimes I miss the worry free days of my Nissan lol.

Nice, I've owned a few 240sx's in the past. Here's the last one I had w/RB20. Loved this car.
But back to the exhaust, that's not a bad price as long as it's quality. I wasn't able to find any for a manual though. Can you point me in the right direction?
