Default itr or s2000 muffler?

ok well i got custom 2.25 piping done last year and i got a cheap muffler from ebay and guess what it now sucks, its just a stright-through one. My question is that if i replaces if with an s2000 muffler which to my knowledge is a twin-pass or a itr muffler which one would be better out of the two? and also would this be a downgrade to my current setup? or it wouldn't matter AT all?

I know a couple people that were rocking welded S2K muffler's on their EK's. They look and sound pretty nice, and if the piping is consistent and the muffler is straight-through, sounds like a worthy investment.

Get a proper cat back, and do not buy anything from ebay, toucan, ractive or anything "custom" made. Just get a proper exhaust and be done with it.

If your asking about the S2k it looks like the mugen twin loop. Only one of course.

My guess is it could be a twin loop since mugen is in such close relation with honda. But who knows. I know it looks like it though.

The one in that auction is an OBX universal twin loop muffler. You have to weld hangers and a flange to it. I might actually buy one and see how it is.

On another note the S2k will fit on an integra and it is lighter than the type r.

I used to have a GS-R, and I had in my posession a Type-R muffler, but (after the GS-R was stolen) now I have an S2000 ('04). SO, I feel kind of qualified to speak on this issue.

1) When I take of the rear wheels and look at the muffler from the front, it has a U-turn in it that looks exactly like the Mugen twin-loop. I can't imagine what that U is there for if it isn't an actual twin-loop muffler.

2) I actually never did install the Type-R muffler on the GS-R. After my 'teg was stolen, I wound up giving the muffler away. BUT, I can say that it was a little more aggressive-looking than the S2000, and I felt in general that Type-R's that I've driven sounded at least as throaty (if not a bit more) than the S2000 does.

3) Here's a simple solution: go with whichever you can find for less money. My feeling personally is that the ITR muffler is the better choice (after all, it was engineered for the car).

Both don't flow that well because they are chambered but because of this offer very quiet systems. Get whatever looks better to you.
