Well I always assumed the Mugen parts would be for the 4 doors, but there's an exhaust for coupes now. Seems pricey though..$1500

Any thoughts?

 

wow another 60MM exhaust, looks pretty useless to me and a big waste of money for 1500.. id rather make power then buy a name..

 

lol at the insight video

 

lol i didn't even watch that video til now..but I like to check that site every now and again cuz King Motorsports isn't that far from my house..like 30 min drive tops. And they have an awesome reputation. But yes it's extremely overpriced, so I'm gonna say no..

 

the outside clip sounded like my stock exhaust with a race header behind it once he hit around 4k. it had that sort of hollow/raspy tone to it.

 

can that sound any less interesting? 1500 dollars for something that sounds like a vibrant setup only raspier with smaller piping? great idea dudes.

 

Please tell me that wasn't WOT.

0-60 in 27 seconds. Sweet.

 

Ever driven an Insight? They are actually a lot of fun compared with other hybrids. I think it's a bit slower than the Prius even, but much more involving and exciting.

 

hmm well my buddy with a Mugen just got a 70mm Skunk2 catback.
what does that tell you?

 

^^yup tossed the mugen exhaust aside and slapped on a skunk2 70mm.

you won't be happy with the loudness of the exhaust. sounds good but even with my skunk2 header sounded like a stock si.

if your going for power get a 70mm!!!

also, power gains are minimal. but if your going for the best quality, quite sound and looks go get it.

 

With Mugen your just paying for the name and not necessarily good HP gains!

 

Any thoughts on leaving the Mugen muffler, getting rid of the cat and the Mugen resonator, and just putting some 70mm piping in?

 

that's a really really really really bad idea.

your ruining your mugen exhaust and it'll suck nuts.. lol

just keep your mugen exhaust and buy a nice 70mm

 

If you have the cash, I don't see why not.

 

edit: I was really damn tired when I posted that. Wow. Here's what the post should have looked like:

I'm grabbing a header, and it's coming with a catless down pipe, with an 02 Sensor delete. What's the opinion on running a 3" pipe from the down pipe back to the Mugen muffler, removing the Mugen resonator?

 

yea that was wot. why make a vid of the sound without going wot? lol
especially with an aftermarket exhaust.

 

you don't want to do that.

im not sure what the size is of the header, but mine is a 70mm.

that means you go from 70mm(2.75") to 76mm(3") and then back to a 60mm(2.5")

thats bad....=[ you're piping should be all the same diameter all the way back.
find out your header's diameter and get a catback with the same diameter.

jumping from differnt piping diameter in your exhaust will cause turbulence and bad flow.

 

wot? coupe? danggggggg

 

does look nice though.

 

I've had some pretty good success with my Mugen catback. But as the car progresses, I see myself jumping up in diameter.

1500 for this is way overpriced.
Sorta like the Grupp M intake.

 

I just bought myself a mugen exhaust on the cheap....Can't wait to throw it on
