There are a couple members on here who have those headers. Try doing a search on it, maybe you can come up with an answer.

Exhaust is just piping. Find someone who has them and check the welds and quality.

i have seen a few obx cat backs that sounded decent- borderline raspy- but fitment was absolutely horrible. tips stuck out super far and was really crooked. save up a little more and get a nice used after market exhaust from someone on the forums.

I got a very nice looking exhaust on ebay, not the obx one though.
Well it actually was a waste because it didn't really fit. The problem with it was when you had the rear wheel jacked up, the axle drop would hit the piping. I figured this out when I was installing it. One thing I thought was odd was that the seller had pretty good feedback and previous buyers of the exhaust had claimed it was good. I was thinking that either they didn't put it on yet or they had taken it in to a shop where they lifted up the car and with the wheels on the lift you would never know.
I will say I was very disapointed that it didn't fit because that exhaust was beautiful and very light too. In the end I shipped it back, the seller was kind of a jerk though, I had to file a PP complaint, after which he refunded my money, but I was still out $60 that it cost me to return it to him.

So having said that I would recomend just getting something from a reputable place like a borla.
