It's so much easier to go with a company that uses good cores (AMS, Nisei, ETS, Buschur) than to find a diamond in the rough Ebay-style.

If money is an issue, your most reasonable bet would be to go with the ETS 3" IMHO.

LOL "HBX?" Sounds like a knock off of a knock off (OBX) hahahaha..

I would stay FAR away from a brand like that ... that NO ONE has heard of..

Just my opinion.. go with ETS ( : They are the BEST company!!! They have superior quality and great prices

i was at the tattoo shop thumbing through their magazines. i picked up a mustang magazine and on the inside of the front cover was an ad for them. then i noticed the modelled intercooler and i thought..."that looks like an evo intercooler" and in the footnote it said "above model is for mitsubishi lancer evolution"

anyways it doesnt look bad but i think its just too new for anyone to really know about them.

looks like a nice unit. smooth end tanks.
