The twin loop is a great sounding exhaust (I believe that someone on this board has a sound clip), however if you plan on going FI then I would say get something a little larger in diameter and more free flowing.

It's not that restrictive for mile NA applications--it's worth a few hp over stock.

Sounds exactly like how performance engines should have sounded from the factory.

However, it is a bit restrictive for FI applications. It still flows way better than stock, though.

I like my Twinloop but definitely go with something wider for a turbo. Look up the H-T member bishop. In his signature there is a video of his car and you can hear his twinloop. I was running the camera.

King Motorsports sells a b-pipe to fit the MTL. http://www.kingmotorsports.com/produ...ek/engine.html Scroll down a little. You can also just get a b-pipe custom made to bolt to the MTL.

Looks = Great

Sounds = Great

axel back for $695 = Not That Great

I have the axle back on my 4-dr. It sounds really good, unique. Not very loud though, my AEM CAI is louder. Haven't been able to test the performance completely, our roads have been shitty for the past month! Snow But I can feel a difference and can't wait for dry clear roads.

You don't give up much for HP, really. When it sounds that good, I wouldn't care about a couple HP, because with an aftermarket exhaust that's all were talking about. I have been looking for a well made QUIET exhaust. I couldn't find a good sound clip of the MUGEN, Thank-you.

what would you guys suggest for a turbo application?
Thermal is great for a turbo car. i thought the cat back was available for the EK but not the coupe?
