I've they are quite a bit larger than the Mugen, but I don't know firsthand. There is some info on them on here, I'll search for them.

I have one on my EJ...and I like it. It's hella quiet and has a nice tone to it while I'm driving. When I first installed it...I had a 4-1 Header, Test pipe, and Crush bent exhaust...so it was a little raspy when I was stepping on it. Since then I've installed a JDM ITR B-Pipe...but I smashed a hole in my header...so the header makes so much noise it drowns out the exhaust. When I get my new header...it should be A lot quieter now that it's resonated. I have the OBX copy from SSAutoChrome on ebay incase anyone asks. I got it for $100 shipped. It beats that rattling sound from having a test pipe and a stock muffler and it was cheaper than buying a WS that is not a straight through design from what I hear.

Oh yeah...and I have better ground clearence than most other people have with their N1 and other exhausts.

I'm all about "Style" stuff. It's cheap...and 9 times out of 10...it's made by the same people that make the real one. I have a cheap car...so I can't see spending 3 times as much as I would on something that is similar or the same.

Ehhh...can't win in all situations...hehehe...But it is true though. Most manufacturers actually share plants...especially overseas. It's just they tend to use different blends of materials or lack the Brand Name badging. It's just like buying Sprite and Safeway Sellect Soda...they are essentially the same thing, just a slightly different reciepe...and one is half the price of the other.

thats true , but what you also get in that cheaper price , is cheaper materials and shabby manufacturering , so you get what you pay for

I bought the Mozart twin loop for my old Ek when I had it. It fit well and was quieter than my worldsport. I sold it to my friend who had had it installed for over a year. Still sounds good as new.

your analogy is weak because it assumes rota wheels suck, which they do not.

This sounds like the most defenite peice of information so far. Most of what I see in here is "they suck" and things along that line with no firsthand experience. I say go for it, hell, it's like 100 bucks.
