Ebay mufflers are ok for about a year... I had the SNL one, which is basically the same as the OBX twin loop. The fiberglass did not last at all and it was loud and raspy very quickly. I like the benefits of a twin loop, so I opted to stick with it and get a good one...I ordered from from Hytech for $400 and have never looked back. I have basically a race header and a 2.5 in exhaust and it's quieter then stock Header/Magnaflow catback on my Civic (There is NO drone once at speed). It's hand made, tig welded SS, and hand polished...it's absolutely amazing. The only downsides are the cost and that it often takes him a month + to ship them out. Mine took about 3 weeks.
Mugen mufflers are essentially the same (although I might argue that the Hytech quailty is better), but you're paying for the name big time. I've seem them go upwards of $750 for a Mugen twin-loop axle-back, and to me that just doesn't make sense. I would highly recommend you check out Hytech's stuff. If you search on websites like Honda-Tech you will find nothing but good about the quality (only bad things about John's customer service and wait times).
If you bought a header, high-flow cat (or not, if you choose), and a resonator along with this muffler, you could have an exhaust shop make you up a system.
o mann so neither of them will be worth it than? i was watching some youtube vids too alot of them were raspy but a couple sounded smooth n deep but not too loud which i liked. im not sure what i want to do anymore so many cons on everything i look at! except for the cat backs but there about $500+ im a noob about the engine and exhaust n all of that, i just kno some body.
yea the OBX one was the one that i had and it sounded awesome, not raspy at all, the hardest thing was the install and fabbing hangers for it and tigging it to the other connecting pipe.
can i make a suggestion? i know ur set on the twin loop style, but try checking out the tannaba hyper medalion. it has a nice deep sound to it and you cant hear it at all on idle. .. if you are looking for quiet but still performance there is also this other greddy one. im not 100% sure but i think its called the greddy dt exhaust. it has a dual type tips. i think it might b discontinued but u might b able 2 find one somewhere
P.S. if getting a cat back i dont want a 4" fart can!
My friends and I used to be ebay sellers. From what I've seen on most name brand exhaust they have the logo imprinted on them somewhere. I may be wrong, but I'd have that guy get you a clearer pic of the logo near the exhaust or at least a certificate of authenticity picture.

for one thing that is not mugen... they're the same crap, both obx and generic. a true mugen exhaust is only sold as an axle back or catback unless someone hacked it off. A real mugen axle back cost no less than 350-400. Its mandrel bent, has a mugen badge on it, and depending on the generation it'll have rings around the tip.
do yourself a favor and do not buy from ebay unless it is a legit brand. Have to becareful which retailer you buy from, they can be misleading. And as someone said before HyTech is also a great brand and have proven to be better than mugen. Buddy of mine has one and it sounds like pure sex
