Hey guys would I love your opinion on what exhaust I should get.
I really want the OBX cat back exhaust.
It's only $325 and guarantees 18hp increase.
But is there any other exhaust out there thats better than that?
Thannks, Matt

NO, I repeat, NO aftermarket R exhaust will give you 18 hp!
The best stand alone, (street legal, catback) exhaust will give you maybe 5-7 HP

I did the res delete and it sounded a little better, but I did it so I would have the exhaust bracket of death. I got 2 quotes for custom 3 inch exhausts and they were both around 500-600 for crush bent so..... You decide 2 inch mandrel or 3 inch crushed. I too am thinking about the OBX

Thank You I appreciate it sadly I cant make my own I just dont have enough time.
I will probaly hold back on the exhaust and maybe just wait for the ipd ecu upgrade .

Thank you once again guys and girls for your suggestions.

Get the OBX downpipe and catback, have a shop install them both at the same time (catback needs some work to fit right). $180 for the downpipe shipped, $405 for the catback shipped, $150-200 for the install. Looking at around $750 for everything installed.

I get compliments on my exhaust all the time, and the full system really does make a performance difference.

It was the 4 cyl Camry - I compared it to my sisters... looks like the V6 has issues with how to block off the second pipe...

Honestly, I thought the best exhaust sound ever was from 1 large and 1 small Folgers can and 14 Wal Mart green bean cans all duct taped together... but what do I know? ;)
