obx makes a lot of products for hondas...there are some parts that are great but not everything so depending what your looking for is whether or not to go with it. they are cheap but sometimes if you feel better with a more famous name brand like skunk 2 then go for that. its a cheaper brand than the rest and like i said only some things are good not everything in there product line.

Who? Buy a name that is known. Don't buy generic stuff or you'll regret it in the end. Spend the extra few dollars and get something that you know is gonna last.

OBX is new in the market in new I mean about 5-7years old it makes good products cheaper, but Skunk2, Mugen, Spoon, Toda, JUN are house hold names, not saying its bad. D-sport magizne ran there cams in a 1.7L 630whp Civic so it had to be a good deal

I had concerns about them for a long time, but when I saw some silicone radiator hoses for half the price of SAMCO hoses, I went ahead and bought them figuring silicone is silicone. Well, I was half right. Turns out the minute gap between the ring of my radiator and the hose itself leaked some antifreeze no matter how tight I tightened the clamps. The hose on the bottom actually popped off two times on me and with two clamps, it still popped off under load. These hoses were pretty bad and I would never use them again. I probably wouldn't buy any of their products due to that as well.

It depends on what you buy from them. Personally, the only thing I'd ever buy from them is their LSD's. But most of their stuff is garbage, and close to the quality of APC stuff.
