Default OBX exhaust

I'm looking to replace the stock exhaust system on my chipped 1997 850R and was looking for suggestions.
I have found an OBX turbo back system for $400 incl. shipping. Has anyone used this and how did it work? How loud was the system and did it change the acceleration ?
Any other suggestions for other systems or comments about OBX would be appreciated.
Thanks, Jim

From what Ive read and hear no one has the syst. in stock now.

Anytime you open up the exh on a turbo car its gonna make a diff. perf. wise.
I'd say it was close to just getting a tune 17psi.

Heres a video of how it sounded on my old car.

I've had the OBX exhaust for just about over a year. I think it sounds pretty good. Just removed the DP today to have a 2nd bung welded in and it was still in great condition, barely any surface rust at all.

Search around a bit and you'll get tons of information. Search on VS too, lots of people run it on there.
