FS 4-1 + Magaflow = LOUD!

I'd recommend FS 4-1 + FS Stealth exhaust. Good balance and not raspy like the magnaflow would be with the race header.

I have the OBX 4-1 with a magna catback, no highflow cat yet, if yours is a manual then it should been fine for noise when just scooting along in normal trafic speeds, but if you open her you sounds like a ninga bike full throtle ripping down the road. Have fun. Do you have Duratec, if so get a SCT first going to need the rear O2 delete programed on it.
