Anyone running on one?....if so...which one...and pro's and con's..plz....o yes...and where and how much did you get it for..

 

??? Whats that, do you mean, Twin Loop??

 

Mugen makes one and I think SMSP also makes one. Benefit would be the sound (its a lot quieter)

Not sure of any cons...?

 

Deeper sound and quieter. Mugen and Hytech makes one.

 

I emailed Hy-tech a while back asking how much there axle back was I think it was somewhere under $500

 

hytechs muffler comes out to be just over 400 bucks.
You can look around on ebay for twin loop exhausts. A friend of mine has a mugen knockoff on his lude and it looks/sounds great still after almost 2 years.

 

Hows the flow on them things?...is it worth the money?...their so exspensive...

 

They flow like a cannister (N1-style) but are quiet like a chambered (stock) muffler. It's pretty much the best of both worlds, but you pay out the *** for it (Hytech muffler = $400).

Mugen & Hytech are the only companies that have an Integra application. DC Sports has their twin-cannister system, but it doesn't fit the Integra.

BTW, Mugen = 2 3/8", Hytech = 2 1/2". Make sure you get the size that best fits your goal.

 

The DC Sports design is simply 2 round mufflers. I wouldn't compare it to the Hytech and Mugen. I've heard both of those before in person, and the Mugen was definitely quieter. The Hytech wasn't that loud either. The Hytech sounds a bit like the old Greddy PE (Power Extreme). Both were on ITR's. The Mugen had header/cat and the Hytech had header/testpipe.

For those with the DC, how's the sound?

 

Xue, I was always under the impression that the DC TCS was two connected mufflers?

It is, sorry if I made it sound like it wasn't. But to be more clear, all the DC is is going into one muffler and into another. It doesn't "pass twice" through one single muffler like the Mugen and Hytech does. At least that's what I can tell from pictures. Never seen on in person before. So it makes me wonder how much quieter it actually is, if it was really designed with that intention. Or did they just want to make a "cool-looking" exhaust?

Ractive makes an axel back twin-loop. i had one on my teg and just sold it to someone cause i wanted a full exhaust. But it was very nice and quiet. I got mine for $150 new

 

I just looked at all their mufflers and I do not see a twin-pass muffler. Perhaps you can show me a picture?

 

This twin loop is made by OBX... mugen replica



This one is a reactive twin loop replica

 

Has that OBX one been discontinued? I have never seen that before.

 

wow i wish i had some pics of my mugen.. hell the obx 1 doesn't even look like it is hung right.. not at least compared to mine

 

here is my mugen




I don't have a a pic showing the whole muffler like the above pic

I love this exhaust, but if I were buying a new exhaust I'd go with the hytech, simply for the increased size.

 

i really don't like the hy-tech it is considerably louder than my mugen!! but to each his own

 

This is the discontinued Top Speed twin loop I have had for the last 3 years. Quiet and not sputtering raspy like a stock exhaust. When I took it off to mock up the Hytech muffler, it was damn loud and annoying without it. I don't think I'll ever use anything but a twin loop system for a street exhaust.



The piping is 2.368" OD and completely polished stainless steel. The loop tucks up into the bumper so you can't see it unless you look from underneath.


I always wanted it to hang higher, so I'm gonna bend the hangers down a bit on the ends to see if it'll pull up. Then it's up for sale when I put the Hytech one on.

 

kinda involving this topic...
anyone seen the new Apexi cat-back?
it has a closure engage/disengage
KINDA works like the twin loop, but all in the muffler canister

 

i've seen the one you're talking about. supposedly, the closure engages/disengages depending on how much exhaust pressure is going through it. i actually think that it could be really good .. but i'm still waiting for someone to do a review on it. i don't think any of us has tried it yet.

 

I had the DC twinloop on my SI and it was alright.. I wasted my money on that.. I bought a JIC.. I guess it's about how they are made

But the Hytech outflows the Mugen. The Mugen has a slight bottleneck before the muffler, the hytech doesn't have that bottleneck.
