Default jdmcarboy muffler vs es tuning

i wanted to know if anyone has had any experience with jdmcarboys twin loop muffler.
http://www.jdmcarboy.com/index.php?m...f19ba06c6d4129


is it any good? if its not that good i think ima go for the es tuning until i save up enough for a catback system.

i also wanted to know if anyone does have the es on an ep3 and how thats working for you?

ps
any muffler i chose will go on my ep

thx

You should do some research about those 2 sites here on HT.

I heard nothing but horror stories about them.

Or go the ultimate cheap route.

Magnaflow Oval copy + black high-temp paint from Autozone = $40 discount

jdmcarboy is nothing but bad news! He screwed so many people from HT a couple of years back! He has nothing but bad reviews... I would never trust that shady business!

I love the twinloop exhaust but would get the OBX one which is a very good quality piece!

I had one on my EG with LS/VTEC, it was OK in the low range, but still pretty loud up top. I think the key is to have it combined with a good/big resonator and it'll be quiet.

Heres the link to the catback (same item / seller I bought from)

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/02-05...Q5fCarQ5fParts

Shipped UPS Ground, took 1 week. Piping looks good, but not sure on fitment yet (haven't had time to install yet) But for basically $100 shipped, I'm happy lol. Plan to chop off the giant fart can and put on a oval Magnaflow muffler and paint it black.

The muffler/resonators I haven't ordered yet because I gotta measure how much room I'll have
