If it was to me the answer is NO. Summit does not give Jobber account discounts. There are several retailers online that sells all of the mentions exhaust systems and parts. You should be a wise shopper and find the one that will sell and deliver to you for the best price. I would recommend that you make sure whomever you buy from, and this goes without saying for anything in general that you make sure they are an AUTHORIZED dealer or seller, or you may not get the warranty should anything happen.

Chick I am surprised you are interested! NIce!
I should also apologize about stating giving the impression that OBX copies or clones all their parts. They don't! However, I have notice over the years that some of thier better systems seem to be very similar to others having them on the market before them? Maybe just a coincidence?

. I did swap cans on my 06 M Roadster to a Remus brand and am very happy with them. Just slightly more noise than stock, which is perfect for a convertible sports car. As you said, very subjective, and you aren't getting HP out of this type of mod, just a different exhaust note.The reason I said what I did about OBX was this from your above post: "*OBX is known in aftermarket performance industry as coping or cloning existing system already on the market. There material and manufacturing at times is better than the companies they duplicate."
I had just never heard of them. I suppose they are similar to Magnaflow which does more generic stuff.

I am curious, but have no plans to buy an exhaust for my car. It sounds fine as it is - which is quiet - as it should be IMHO for a family SUV .

OBX made a big splash in 2002-2011 aprox. when they offered a affordable hedder for the BMW/MINI "S" series .
I was a bit quick to post the coping info as that does not go over very well if you don't understand the complete story.
To get a laugh OBX makes a CAT back system for a PT Cruiser. LOL yup and have one! lol
