Budget Y pipe: JIC Magic or OBX

The Megan Racing and Top speed are other budget options but both look similar and look almost identical to stock other than being larger diameter. All are 2.5" in and 3" out and are available on ebay.

JIC Magic looks more like Tanabe than OBX, and it appears that there would be better flow because the 2 pipes come together at less of an angle on OBX. Trying to decide if the JIC Magic is worth $118 more than the OBX. Any thoughts?
