i broke my e-series 3 times, and my stepmom's once. they suck. too much stress on the tab, and it sticks out too far past the grab bar, so when i wheelied over backwards it snapped at the joint between pipe and canister
i'd say go with hmf

You are right about the tabs. I have broke 5 E-series exhausts (slip-ons)

. If you are going to run a E-series the tab needs to be on the bottom. At first white bros had no tab, then they put a tab on the top (still broke)

, and finally they put it on the bottom. I have never broken a tab since. Three years and running. I lucked out white bros is just down the street and they just exchanged it everytime.
Haven't had any time with an hmf
