360 Just bought OBX exhaust

Just like every other stock exhaust owner, I’ve been getting a white chalky substance blowing all over my engine coming from the degradation of the exhaust insualtion. I was scanning eBay and came across the OBX system for the 360.. the vendor just recently changed the price to $450. I figured, what the heck, I will try it. It appears to be a loose copy of the gruppe M exhaust. Anyone on here tried this exhaust out? I am assuming it will have similar sound characteristics as the gruppe M since it starts with an x pipe and goes into 2 separate mufflers. There may be some fitment issues that may need to be rectified, but I have a really good custom exhaust builder that is close to me that could dissect and massage the fitment.
This isn’t the first time I’ve used Chinese parts on high end cars. I used to have an air cooled Porsche 911 that I converted to a custom turbo set up. The 930 intercoolers are $4-8k,so found a CX racing intercooler that was originally built for a Mitsubishi EVO and adapted it to fit my needs. The intercooler was under $300, which saved a ton of cash for other things. No sense in spending $4-8k when you can spend $300 and get the same end result. I sold that car a few years ago, and a very wealthy collector bought it and still drives it to this day.
My car is a high mileage example that will be driven as much as possible as long as the weather is nice. It’s a nice car, but not going to be a garage queen by any stretch of the imagination. As long as the exhaust doesn’t have any crazy drone, it will be better than having to clean the engine bay every time I bring the car home from a drive.
for those wondering, here is the listing for the exhaust

It’s supposed to get here Monday. I should have it installed as long as I don’t have any fitment issues on thanksgiving. I will update once I get it on and will share pics and videos

 

So I got the exhaust unboxed tonight. First impression, it looks really nice. As long as the fitment is good and it sounds good, it might be a big win for the price. I plan to start the install tomorrow

Got the exhaust on. I was expecting the fitment to be off, but it was actually pretty good! I still need to adjust the exhaust tips a little, but it looks really nice! The sound is really good too. As soon as I can figure out how to download a video, I will post it up.

I get it. I plan to keep the factory exhaust, and if I ever plan to sell the car, I will make the option to a potential buyer to reinstall the factory exhaust. I meticulously maintain all of my vehicles myself, so I guarantee the car isn’t ever in disrepair.
One of the nice things about my car is its higher mileage and I don’t have to worry about taking huge depreciation on the car if I drive it a bunch. When I bought the car a month ago, it had just over 59k miles. It now has almost 61k miles on it. I don’t feel guilty at all for racking up 2k miles in such a short time. That’s what most people put on their cars in a year. I’m getting more smiles per mile than anyone else. Obviously, winter is knocking on the door, so I will be driving my truck more often then.

Nope, it’s from the insulation between the muffler and the stainless steel shrouding of the factory exhaust.

 

I will have to try to get some video this weekend as I am out of town for work this week
