Copy-paste of my reply in the OBX exhaust thread:

I took a picture of the inside of the resonator so you all could see that is straight-through in design. I was going to have it changed out if it wasn't, but looking at it there didn't seem a reason to have it replaced.

Some work was required to make the muffler fit into the space available under the car, we had to take a sledge hammer and hammer the spare tire well in a bit as well as bend the toe-hook out a half-inch so that the muffler could be fitted nice and tight under the car. With the factory hangers it wanted to hang pretty low, we used the OBX back mount that holds onto the pipe next to the muffler and the exhaust shop welded a hanger to the top of the muffler, just out of sight.

The muffler is quite loud compared to the Megan axle-back I had before. I'm going to give it a week before I make a final decision but I might have it cut off and changed out with a Magnaflow or some other exhaust. I do really like the way the muffler looks though, the tips look nice tucked up right under the bumper.

Here's a video, I should have revved the car up a bit more but it's what I have for now. I'll take another one and post it when I get a chance.

And to respond to TPA5, while loud, there is no buzz or rasp that you sometimes get. I've had a lot of Honda cars so I know what you mean about buzzy or raspy. If this car was a bit faster I could justify the sound it makes, but for now I would like it a bit quieter.
