[slowfourdoor's OBX review. | Page 7 | Pontiac G8 Forum](http://www.g8board.com/forums/showthread.php?t=42634&page=7) like I said before, I have seen nothing but good reviews from people that use OBX long tubes and exhaust. The ones that say they are junk, are the ones that have never owned them. ---

Well IMO if you pay 1000 more dollars for something thats the same exact thing in more then one way just cause it’ll be american is a little assinine. Before this guys review I was like ehhhhh I’ma get the Kooks but now after seeing the review it makes me wanna get the OBX, He’s taking it to the strip too so we will be able to see what happens then also. I’m gunna wait a little longer to see if he has any problems arrise but as of now im on the fence but more towards the OBX side right now. Hopefully Kooks might drop there ridiculous price now they might lose a good amount of market from a small production like the G8… ---

Nice car! How much are those going for these days? A friend was looking at getting a GP GXP but I’d rather him get a RWD car. A lot of guys run the OBX headers on Lightnings with no complaints. They just don’t use the gaskets supplied or the hardware. Some also run the catbacks as well. ---

There nice looking but I’m not sure about the polished lip and it seems like the tires are a little to small for the width of the tire? I could be wrong, I have 275’s on these 9" wheels ---

they do have a little bit of a stretch to the tire but it looks good. i can do a little better on the price if you are interested. I just want them gone. I don’t have a car that they fit anymore so are just taking up space ---

I could be wrong, I have 275’s on these 9" wheels 275’s are the widest tire you can put safely on a 9" wheel. on a 8.5" wheel, 255’s is max…and you need more rubber then that ---

The guy on the other forum who bought and installed the OBX did a dyno run, and he got 56 RWHP over his initial dyno using the OBX and a re-tune… Pretty impressive. ---
