Default mugen twin vs spoon n1 *searched, so chill*

ok, i dont care about sound or anything, so im not asking for a sound clip.

i know the n1 is performance oriented, but how does the twin loop stack up against it?
because i'd honestly prefer a quieter muffler, but i still have performance in mind, i know its just an axleback, but help me out here.

If you have performance in mind then a straight through muffler is going to be your best bet. Also, don't expect any more performance out of a axle-back. If your worried about it get the full cat-back.

a muffler isn't going to give much HP gains, i bought my twinloop because it's very quiet. Of course, Kingmotorsports will tell you otherwise

the only reason im on these two is for the stealth aspect, and i know people will toss me 500 other "stealth" muffler options, but i just want a simple axle-back.

you can probably get the mugen w/ custom piping for more gains

I am in love with my Spoon N1. It's stealthy and I can keep it quiet even while driving. In certain areas of the rpm range you'll see it will be a bit loud. Once you go full throttle after about 4500 rpm the exhaust goes silent and all you hear is the motor.

as state d the N1 style muffler are straight thru..where as the twin loop s pass thru the muffler s twice..thus, a mellower exhaust note..the loss of top end will come where the extra length come s in..if u want a quieter muffler and still want the N1 look u have 2 choices

the inserts..which will restrict the flow..or, install a round straight thru muffler as a resonator
