It's just a cosmetic thing, one is wrapped in a carbon sleeve, the other is wrapped in a Ti sleeve. Personally I think they are both probabaly cheap POS mufflers. I'd rather take that $250, buy an ES oval and get some piping.

No, that ghetto ricer CF sleeve muffler is ugly. Mufflers aren't supposed to be pretty and cute. They're supposed to be simple and used for one thing...Quiet loud noises.

Ahhhh..why am I on the email notification list?!

Just go with whatever u like. I don't think there's a point in asking others what they think looks good. Everyone has different tastes.

Jesus **** you paid 300? I got jipped I spent well over $450 for mah mooogin racing oil cap.

Its a well known fact this board hates anything that isnt from japaaan. **** they dont even like tint some of them. Go with what you want, I liked it when you had the carbon fiber one on there. God forbid carbon is stronger than steel when made correctly. Carbon="ricey" why? I realize the application on this muffler is for pure asthetics, but if its the look that you want....get it. instead of that dammned oval ****.

Those muffs are pure cosmetic, get one that is REAL Titatnium. JIC Magic makes a real nice N1 style TI muff. If $250 is all you have, get the es oval and put the rest of the $$ into something else.
