OBX Mufflers?

yes or no on these.
there are a lot of them on Ebay for cheap.
would the sound be good with an all stock 01 CLS? im looking for a deep sound, not the high buzzing.

if you're looking to save money then check the black market; just be patient.

think of it this way: you spend $120 on two ebay mufflers shipped then you still have to go to a shop to get them welded so they'll fit on the car which is another ~$200, at which time you could have just picked up a used direct-fit set for less.

You can get some XS Power Headers and the upgraded nuts and bolts as well as the OEM gaskets, and the total of that would be about 130 , then get them installed.

installing my brother can do for cheap or free, so nevermind that.
