It's a fake because Mugen only makes axel back for Civics not ITRs the ITR system is cat back.

The REAL Mugen Tip is beveled and has Mugen on it.

But with a little dirt on it...no one could tell the difference unless they were up REAL close.

It looks pretty good.

If it is only $200.00, Why is Hitech selling his exhaust system for $1000.00? It could be made cheaper.

Actually the price is going to be closer to $600, Also pricing depends on, quality of workmanship and materials and Research. Hitechs Cat Back system isnt a copy, Twin loops are a style of exhaust just like N1 mufflers.

Re: Fake Mugen axle backs (TypeRmsm)

What is the real difference between the twin loops and straight shot through mufflers? does it provide some back pressure so u don;t loose your low end horsepower?

Re: Fake Mugen axle backs (Wildohiorice)

the only reasoning to the twin loop...to my knowledge...is to improve sound deadening...make it more quiet...sound waves cancel each other out...

Re: Fake Mugen axle backs (R134)

Just to clarify, I don't own this. I found it on a webpage. I have no idea who makes it or what kind of power it makes or doesn't make. It's a muffler not a cat back.

Re: Fake Mugen axle backs (R134)

ahh, the hitech twin loop is a much nicer piece than the mugen. Side by side, the mugen looks very small and over priced. The muffler of the hitech is larger (length and girth) and the diameter of the piper is larger as well in both the inlet and the loop. A better muffler.
