If the OBX system does use converters, you should be fine!

I don't mean to get too detailed with my answers, but if I can help someone avoid some difficulty he/she may not know about......I want to help.

Just a suggestion - ask them before buying whether that rear section is a converter or glasspack muffler. I think Rhode Island still has an emissions inspection.

You may want to re-read all the posts to this thread...especially the parts about how converters can fail and how it is ill-advised to remove your converter if your state has emissions inspection. We can only help you if you read what we write. You don't necessarily have to believe it the first time you read it......just understand what is being said....and make that part of your decision-making process.

If you toss your existing converter and replace it with their "high flow resonator", it's a safe bet you will have difficulty passing your next emissions inspection.
