I was thinking about getting the ES muffler for my 98 LS. I was going to do a custom mandrel bent system, so what are your guys' opinion on this muffler? Does it sound ricey? Thanks in advance.

 

who makes this mystery muffler?

 

APC or OBX

 

I wanted to get this muffler also but i havent heard to many things about it. i posted this question before.
www.jdmhondaparts.com

 

APC & OBX = CRAP !!!

 

i dont think its obx or apx...can anyone confirm this?

 

i hope its not OBX or APC if JDMHondaparts is selling it, that would make me lose all respect for them

 

OBX Racing Sports....."its mAd PhAt Yo"

 

ES mufflers makes the ES muffler shown in the above picture...

 

do you guys notice the person flicking you off in the reflection of the muffler?

 

This may seem like a dumb question, but is the exhaust note different from that of a round body muffler compared to a oval muffler? Thanks, Jason.

 

haha i just noticed that. Es technical roadsports designs the mufflers They are in gardena california. Nice guys but pretty overpriced. They do a lot of work on bmws and mercedes also.

 

Supposedly Oval mufflers are quieter than circle ones, but there are lotsa factors including quality of sound deadening material and such

 

its a universal muffler with no tip on it... whats so special? does it just sound real good or what? it looks like any other universal muffler that you can get at any muffler shop or a pep boys for that matter.

 

 

Damn, i love 4 door M3s.

 

I was wondering about the ES muffler too! Who has one on their Integra now? Are you using custom piping or...

Opinions? Thoughts?

Oh and how does it sound...

 

NO ITS NOT MADE BY OBX OR APC, i have one on my integra with 2.25 custom piping with one resonator
and i love the way it sounds.. without the resonator it was deeep and low, now with the resonator its still deep
but real low. when i let someone drive my car it sounds real good at a normal speed. i kinda wish i had left
the resonator off, but it still sounds good to me. everyone that hears it always ask me what kind it is, and then i love the dumb *** people that say "hahaha, he still has his stock exhaust on". i just tell them yep. and one kid told his friends that i had a stock exhaust with a cherry-bomb, i love hearing stuff like that from schmucks that know nothing.
es oval=
and the es N1, sounds just like a 5zigen exhaust.

enjoy

 

We are on thesame track.. except i just rebuilt the bottom end and am putting aGSR or ITR head on it with some internals.... As for the looks, i'm right their with you... just need to get my bumpers and side skirts painted. on the rear hatch, however, it is not just the hatch... the switch is electrical... you would have to wire it to an actuator/door popper on the inside of your trunk connected to the latch. I was almost done putting the new hatch on my car when I realized that.

 

I don't like the muffler for integras. I think it looks better on civic. My opinion.
