Is it worth it?

Ok, so I have to decided to replace my factory down pipe with an after market unit. I have been watching a few diff options on eBay just not sure what others would recommend. First off, I live in S.C. and we do not have inspection or emission tests so a cat delete would be an obvious first choice due to less restrictive flow. If I go this route would I have problems with cel or codes due to rich or lean running conditions detected by the O2?

Any suggestions or advice?

Start with something simpler this could fit. If this is too loud for you then the down pipe and cat delete will be unbearable. If I were in SC I would put this on but in CA Suburbia the attention is unwelcome and I wouldn't want the attention. Most forums and post I've read on this unit has been very favorable.

Keep to the Speed Limit!

Sorry, but I have deleted the link as it does show swift driving albeit in a different country where perhaps there are no speed limits on their roads. I do not wish stir anyone up nor give the idea that it is OK to drive swiftly unless it is on a track.

I am planning on replacing the complete exhaust system but have not decided which way to go. The OBX turbo back kit is very economical but not sure of the quality. The IPD setup is really nice but a little on the pricey side. I am not looking for anything obnoxiously loud, just something to free up some power, shave some weight and get a sporty tone.

This is for the S60R, the wife's V70T5 will happen a little later depending on how the R goes.

Everyone who has the OBX exhaust seems happy with it, and it's on my shopping list (it's currently unavailable). Spending a grand on an exhaust is just silly, although the IPD system is nice.

This is on sale right now and, as far as I know, is a quality piece. You probably won't beat that price, but it doesn't include a downpipe.

Yeah, I have been watching the OBX turbo back kit but haven't seen too many reviews of it. Trying to talk the wife into an early b-day present, not to sure I can wait.
