Default ES Oval Mufflers.....Anyone have anything bad to say about them?

Does anyone have any negative feedback on the ES Oval mufflers? Too loud, or too raspy, poor build quality, or anything else?

mine sounded raspy and cheap w/o a cat and resonator. It was straight through afterall.

I put on a cat and resonator and it sounds pretty good. Nice at idle, can get kinda loud at full throttle.

There's like 3 threads, that have several pages to them. Look them up too.

I jsut got mine in the mail the other day. It looks really good but I haven't put it on yet so I don't know what it sounds like. I have an airmass header, no cat, and no resonator with 2 1/4" exhaust so I'm kinda thinkin It'll quiet it down more than having no muffler what-so-ever. Either way I'll let you know how it sounds.

I really wish an ExMag system were available for my 2000 GSR 4-door, but unfortunately, it's not.

Thanks for the input, however irrelevant it may be to the topic at hand.

sorry I can't side with anyone else here

it's cheap *** crap and they usually sound like a bee on crack trapped inside of a tin can amplified by the speakers on its a small world

Maganflow makes a similarly priced version and while the piping up to it plays a part for sure the muffler itself is much better

Mine is raspy over 4k, maybe cuz I don't have a resonator. But I like it, doesn't attract too much attention with the local authorities.
