so i been gone a while getting repairs, got my timing belt changed and a leak taken care of and all kinds of bs, anyway the car is at 141,xxx miles now and the exhaust question is rising once more while i await my tax return, i want OBX headers but from what most have said they seem to break and OBX has crap customer service, also im N/A and auto so ive heard id just lose low end torque witch raises the question.....catback 2.5"? Headers? the hell am i supposed to do?? after all this time im still puzzled

OBX headers do sometimes crack, but not to everyone. Make sure you have decent motor mounts so your motor isint just flopping around everywhere. That would be a main reason why the rear headers crack. Too much stress that it goes under. Anyways, you can go with the obx set up if you do lose torque it wont be that noticable, but you will gain some high end power due to there not being any restriction. If you want to keep ur power constant i would suggest going the custom route and getting a nice looking tip. Or going with the megan drift spec exhaust. 2.5in piping. Not too sure if they make headers that bolt up to that cat back, but if your afraid of losing some power then just go 2.5
