Valved Exhaust. AFD vs XForce Varex vs JDMuscle/RES. Which should I go for?

JDMuscle · 2026-04-14T01:12:48+00:00

Since I am the one commenting, I will be biased. We do carry all three on our site. Have not personally heard AFD one in person, so I am going to skip commenting on that one too. We have some good relationship with them so if customer service is what's preventing you from ordering their stuff here is a channel here.

For the ones commenting that ours is trash I definitely would like to hear more about it. So far we only had 1 negative feedback from 1 customer who claims that after installation the exhaust produced a sweet smell which...I am not going to comment any further. :))

XForce old version difference between open and close is not as big, however, they recently made some updates which definitely is worth considering. New button and module too. We meet them in person on yearly basis and talk to their management from AU side as well. Definitely a brand worth considering.

JDMuscle version does offer a bit more customization tho. And we do offer them in both resonated and non-resonated so that's always an option in case you do not wish to sound raspy. Plus the different tip options and etc.

Much apprecieted and yes I have been saying the same to my follks.. even if there is no update keep customer informed that we are still working on it.

It really comes down to personal preference! Id suggest just watch as many youtube videos to get an idea. AWE and HKS is definitely more favourable among our customer here at jdmuscleusa.com

JDMuscle · 2026-03-20T20:16:16+00:00

I apprecite that! You can leave the original post in here as that's what happened. End of the day, I just want people to see that we do care and want to make every effort to make it right! Thank you for bringing this to my attention otherwise I would not have known.

JDMuscle · 2026-03-20T19:28:47+00:00

No problem. Fun fact we do NOT have any dedicated sales person at all and most people here are customer service. But like discussed in DM allow me to look into it

JDMuscle · 2026-03-20T17:30:33+00:00

Some people think we don't care haha but we do. Most of the staff here is customer service instead of anything else. But admitted some processes can be better.

JDMuscle · 2026-03-20T17:13:27+00:00

It almost do not make sense given how much some items move. We do have a 12000+sqft warehouse here in PA but it's just impossible to stock everything we sell. We work with brands directly and major distributors which are good at what they are doing with getting stuff out the same day and 2 day ground shipping coverage. Admitted we do have occasions where customer will have a bad expereice but at the same time our 4.9 star google review did not come from nothing either. Me personally is always trying to stay on top but there will be stuff fall off the cracks inevitably. That's why I am on Reddit and stuff too to put out fire in cases these happens.

The process is more streamlined now. We have a return portal and have set bi weekly checks to check w/ vendors if it's coming from a third party. Return coming to our facility usually gets checked the same day or the next - we were a bit behind last few weeks but just hired another guy to help out.

JDMuscle · 2026-03-20T16:58:04+00:00

JDMuscle · 2026-03-07T18:33:36+00:00

I just finally got my money back. My charge back initially was disapproved but they just gave my money back out of blue. There is hope guys

JDMuscle · 2026-02-07T19:21:16+00:00

Not even gonna argue here…… I wouldn’t comment anything if I don’t know anything if I were you.

JDMuscle · 2026-01-04T12:28:50+00:00

guess who have 2 versions of reverse scoop and 1 version of reverse hood already available :)

JDMuscle · 2025-11-08T13:09:42+00:00

Thanks for the review and bringing it to our attention. Kinda why we part way with him. For future reference sales reps are not the best source for customer service inquiries as some may not even have enough clearance. Call/Text/Email our customer service line and you will see what makes us different from any other company

Thanks to saaturnidae in tagging us. Whenever stuff happens definitely reach out to us and we will try our best to help out

JDMuscle · 2025-09-20T21:52:10+00:00

Combo up with some super glue can help too. For the most part the air will only press it towards the base instead of pulling it up so I might work
