hey guys,
got an ek1 99 hatch, thinking of doing a b18cR conversion, ive recently purchased big tube headers 421 for the car, but now im stuck with the exhaust system, n dont know exactly where to start..
im after something that's quiet not so loud, but only loud when vtec kicks in.. (obviously)
ive weighed out some options but i wouldnt mind hearing some responses from you guys =)
-mugen twinloop
-spoon tail silencer street type
-fujitsubo rm-10a
please also advise on what i should be getting too =)
thanks guys!

had the rm01a on my dc2r can vouch quiet when cruising and you can really hear the crossover when you give it abit.

i was going for more branded aye? initially i was going for the mugen twinloop system, but cant seem to find a gd condition one, and i was leaning towards the rm01a as it was the better alternative =) thanks fabezzz for the input ^^
anyone else??

why branded though.. youre just paying extra for a name. btw you shouldve went with small tube header as well

i personally like the fujitsubo powergetter.
its up to you. and what your after.r but custom isnt so bad either.
big tube > small tube.
why go small when after he may be adding more mods and then those small tubes will jsut restrict power.
its a b18cr.
why go small..

Get a 2.25" custom exhaust. Mandrel and stainless
stock system for the b18cr is 2.25'' Imo 2.5'' would be good.

bought the big tube headers heaps cheap so yeah, i dont mind customs either, but if i can source out some branded ones for cheap.. why not?
i was also thinking about the power getter!! hmmmm, sounds tempting..
on another note, let's say i went custom, where would the best place to go too? to get this kinda work done..

exhaust makes alittle difference on the dyno but little difference at the 1/4 end. I went from a 2.5 collector 2.5cat back and EK4 muffler to a EP3 muffler and no difference in times or mph down the 1/4. Any power is made in the pulse from the header to collector
As for muffler just choose something that you like the look and noise of.

If you go pre-fab I like the FGK Power Getter. I bought one for my brother with a matching 2.5" Magnaflow cat bolted onto it already for $700. It sounds really hot and goes well :)

Well, to further my case for the FGK, this is how she scrubbed up when I gave her a polish...
