A long time ago, I posted about 2.5" Stainless Steel exhaust systems. General consensus was that the TME systems were the best, OBX was alright (not a good 'tone'), and custom could be great or not so great depending on who did it.
A member here had a TME system for sale and was supposed to ship it to me once he had some free time. That didn't happen. Now, my 1992 940T exhaust has rotted out and I either have to change it before the cold weather happens or let it sit for another few months.
So, I wanted to again ask guys who have put 2.5" SS exhaust systems in their 740 / 940's what system they used and how happy they are with it?
I like the performance of my car, but wouldn't mind a better flowing exhaust as long as it doesn't get too loud inside during normal driving (I expect more noise when driving hard). Any suggestions?
I am looking at spending $885 (shipped) on a 3" Stainless Steel from KLRacing:

Or, looking at spending $675 (shipped) on a 2.5" Stainless Steel from OBX / Ebay:

The 3" system has two 'Super Flow' dampers, so I am thinking that it might be worth spending the extra $210 since I think that I'm going to be very happy with the sound. Of course, 3" SS makes me think it is 'future proof' as well.
The 2.5" OBX system has one review in which the guy says it didn't fit well and took a bunch of work to get it to fit.
