Here's the deal, I bought a used twin-loop which already had a bit of damage on the b-pipe and I pretty much finished fugging-it-up on a speed bump (see pictures) .. The exhaust was a good deal and the axle-back was in like new condition which was what I was really interested in. Anyway, I already switched to a T1R b-pipe but I wonder if its worth it to fix the Mugen b-pipe ?? The pipe runs fine, there are no leaks and fits perfectly but It will probably need to have the resonator cut-out and replaced some time down the roead.

BTW, how much would a pipe in this condition be worth ?? Thanks guys !!

 

I can't see, could you make that a little bigger

haha. id say get estimates on fixin it.. then if u can get a cheaper replacement than the estimate, then jz buy a new one

 

Best advise I could offer...
Find out if there is another resonator that is the same size then cut out and replace.

Probably could do it yourself and save a bunch of cash.

Good luck.

 

If you're only worried about performance, I would think that wouldn't matter. **** does look fugged up though...

 

Hey Rob !! Stop complaining !! I'll fix the pic in a moment

I'm not looking to put this back on my car but rather see if its worth fixing to sell or just to have it fixed in case I ever want to sell the complete cat-back .. It will probably get tossed up somewhere in my garage and forgotten

 

chop it off!!! go straight pipe!!!!!!!!!!!!

That is what I would do.

without a resonantor, it will be loud as hell. as bbasso recommended, if you can find the same size resonantor, cut out the old and put in new.

 

that resonator has sooo much stuffing in it that im sure you didnt even bottleneck it at all

 

just go raw headers!

 

mother ****** hangs low

 

Replace with a straight piece of pipe and forget about it. It won't be much louder, so don't sweat that.

Local muffler shop should be able to do that for about $40.

 

I had the same problem when I had my car. I ended up makeing it a straight pipe. I rane JDM header, testpipe, straight b-pipe, and Mugen muffler. It wasn;t very loud, but sounded good. I will see if i can dig up my sound clip.

I still have the Mugen resonator in my garage. justa small ding in it. if you want to replace yours shoot me an offer.

I had the same issue with my Mugen B-pipe.

It doesn't affect flow - all you have done is squished the steel wool in the resonator

 

DAMN sounds nice really nice. Imma try that now,, Hey last thing What was up with that granny 3 OOOPPs I mean 5 point turn? HaHaaa. Im just joking man nice car

 

Honda Bond.

 

hehe mine was like that too..

i had extra T1R b-pipe layin around..

so i swapped out mugen B pipe with T1R one.

loving it

 

I have that b-pipe and I bought it with the same kind of dent in it...it should be fine...I'm running it with just the b pipe too no twinloop and it sounds pretty nice....

 

So far, I'm loving the T1R b-pipe with Mugen TL combo .. As far as this Mugen b-pipe, I've pretty much decided to put it away somewhere in my garage.. I don't want to throw it away cause its still in good condition and totally useable, besides, its Mugen bling !! I kind of figured I wasn't the only one with this problem .. Thanks for the feedback

 

can't tell from pictures.. and i dont really know how deep insulation goes on the inside.. but it looks like this shouldn't cause any performance issues. if its leaking you could patch it up with exhaust paste.. a quick/cheap fix

otherwise..


1. cut it out and replace with another resonator (straight through unless your exhaust is too loud as it is..)

2. cut it out and replace with straighpipe.. and you can do it yourself

 

Cut, weld in 2.5" pipe, nice sounds!

Stunna- really giving
