What exactly is it you're trying to accomplsih?
SP1 is connected to a Google Voice account, number 123-456-7890
SP1 -> CallForwardUnconditionalNumber -> SP2(9876)
Where 9876 is an extension on an Asterisk system.
There are 4 extensions on that Asterisk system.
SP2 is SIP account registered to the same Asterisk, number 4567
SP2 -> CallForwardUnconditionalNumber -> SP1(1234567890)
On that Asterisk system when anybody dials 4567, currently it takes directly them to the Google Voice menu ...
... and almost always they dial 2 then nnn-nnn-nnnn# to make a call to any US number.
Can they skip this Google Voice menu entirely?
So from any Asterisk extension they dial 4567 (hear the OBi generated dial tone) then dial nnn-nnn-nnnn#
RonR:
I'll bow out and let someone more familar with Asterisk give you advice on this one (but I've got to believe there's a much simpler approach than the one you're currently taking). Please don't take offense, but this looks like a Rube Goldberg machine: dialing out through a VoIP provider to the PSTN to call into a Google Voice PSTN number to then have Google Voice place an outgoing PSTN call. I hope I'm still missing something. :)

dialtone,
Are you certain option #2 you mentioned is Google voice. Option #2 in Obi is to make a new call. Is the IVR voice male or female?

Yes, it is Google Voice.
It is a female voice saying, "You have no new messages. To place a call press 2. Or to change your settings press 4."

The above statement sounds like your stated objective. The reasons behind your current setup strategy of unconditional CF is not clear.
You have not given too many details about your Asterisk setup as well. If you want to achieve your stated objective of hearing OBi dial tone, you need to set it up as a trunk on the Asterisk. Also setup "ITSP InboundCallRoute" to something like this {Asterisk_Extension(4567)>(xx.):sp1},
Incoming:
At present all GV calls are sent to Asterisk Ext#9876
Outgoing:
Is setup to dial your own GV number that is why you get GV IVR
I don't think you need to hear the OBi generated dial tone. What you need to hear is the Asterisk generated dial tone. You seem to be trying to make an outgoing call over the OBi via SP1 (which is a GV channel).
You need to change you Asterisk setup to accomplish this. Some of the Asterisk setup instructions found here might give you some insight. Have a look.
Setup Asterisk (FreePBX) with Obi to use the AA features of the Obi
