So I finally bit the bullet, saved up the cash and ordered a Hytech twin loop today. My Teg has had an SNL twin loop on it, but the thing got way loud, so here goes something new. I'm shooting for a really quiet setup for comfortable DD, but that high end growl.

I found that there is a huge lack of information on the specs of the muffler online, so I'm making this thread as a reference for anyone looking for size specs.

<U> SPECS:</U>
Canister Diameter (Not including loop): John Said: 8", ACTUAL of mine: 7.75"
Canister length (not including loops): 9" or 11" Available
Total muffler length (loops + body): 19" or 21" respectively, ACTUAL of mine w/ an 11" body, was 19" (Loops add 4" on both sides)
Piping Diameter: 2.5"
Tip Length: Custom, can be made to any length requested. Slash tip that can be welded onto body, or can just included to be welded by you.
Loop direction: Mufflers in stock don't have loops yet, so they can be welded on either the driver side of the passenger side as per request.

Current setup: Cammed B18C1, 11.5:1, Short Ram, Rage header w/ a 2.5 in collector, 2.5 in SS piping through a Carsound cat, 14in Magnaflow Resonator, SNL Twin Loop.

Cool...

Subscribed.....!!!

 

you'll be glad you bit the bullet.

 

Thanks, I hope so! I hear nothing but good (other then that wait time), but still $400 is a lot for a muffler.

 

in for the sound clips i was wanting to get this muffler but want to know how it sounds

 

in for sound

i didn't know he sold just the muffler. I was quoted i think around 800-900 for the full exhaust with a resonator, hmmmm decisions decisions i think ill just get he full exhaust

 

Yep, $395 + Shipping. The full exhaust is easier a lot of the times because where the piping comes into the muffler is a lot higher then it would be with an oval muffler. I already had a Twin loop, so it's pretty much a cut and weld, no tube bending.

 

Nice. If you don't post clips, i will for sure. I'm running the 2.0L Hytech header + 2.5" Hytech Twinloop header-back on my 12.15:1 CR motor. should sound nice. I just got my exhaust today, so it'll be on in the next couple days. Glad to see another HyTech owner

 

i want to know what it sounds like

 

Nice, I'd post them either way! I am going to give John a call Monday if I haven't heard from him yet...that will be 2.5 weeks since I ordered. GL with your exhuast!

Edit: Talked to John today (Couldn't wait till monday :D) and he's going on vacation next week, so that sucks. He said a week and a half before it's done. In Hytech Time, I'm guessing that's two weeks minimum.

Always looking forward to the after Hytech clips...

hytech when it was on my ITR ----&gt;&gt;&gt; FTMFW https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=2140905 have the volume turned on (my wife was behind the wheel, lol ) now that it's on my daily gsr, it's not as agressive sounding due to the difference in engines

 

Still waiting for John at Hytech..5 weeks today, he said it would be don two days ago when I called last week. He does good work, but this is rediculous.

yeah ive heard of people waiting several months for some items from him, thats why right now i haven't purchased a full exhaust from him yet. you've waited 5 weeks for your muffler i wonder how long he would take for a full system

 

Yeah, I've heard that also. I hoped that it wouldn't be the case this time because he said he "had the mufflers in stock" only needing to weld on the loop and cut the tip for it. So I figured that maybe his 2 week estimate might only mean 3 weeks, haha. Still waiting...

It was a 6 month wait for me Got 2 of them

 

Finally got it a few weeks ago...this thing is sick! Pics of muffler added to post. Goes on the car tomorrow, clips will come next week at the earliest.

 

i have the twin loop also
but i dont think it would fit my car due to my car bein to low but imma try it out anyways let you know as soon as i put it on my car

 

Should fit most civics/ integras...As long as your piping comes in nice and high over the rear suspension, it will tuck right up underneath the bumper.
