Hi there blokes, ive got a dc2r with genuine 4-1 mugen header and twinloop and its just too damn quiet! i pretty much sounds like the standard exhaust!

i was thinking of taking it to the exhaust shop and having them cut out the middle resonator and replacing it with straight pipe.

i dont want it buddyclub spec 2 loud but this should give me a slightly louder note?


i would love it to sound like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LMVGz4eZgZA&NR=1&feature=fvwp

hes got pretty much the same mods and but he removed the middle resonator.


the only thing holding me back is the fact that id be cutting up an expensive quality exhaust. i dunno,

use reckon its worth it just for a louder note?

dont cut the bpipe if its a mugen twinloop catback, like you said not worth cutting a expensive catback up.
Have you got a JDM cat? If its still stock try replacing it with a Hi - Flow JDM cat maybe that will give a better sound because of more airflow?

My mate has a twinloop on his DC2R with a JDM Sard Cat or someshit and it sounds so BEAUTIFUL!

its just a b pipe who cares if u cut it, the main thing is aslong as u got the mugen twin loop. if ur really pedantic, just get another bpipe instead of cutting ur one, should be around 60mm the mugen b-pipe (2.36"). most jdm branded bpipes are around that size.

oh really i thought they were 2 and a half inch? maybe i got it mixed up with buddyclub

I had a Mugen Twinloop with a high-flow cat + T1R b-pipe (customised flanges to get rid of all bottlenecks) and it was loud as shit.

I have Mugen 4-1 + twin loop and a good cat, great down low as it is quiet and does not attract attention.... in vtec my car has great sound.

Mine is definately louder than the youtube vid you posted. How loud do you want it?

Ummm if you just got the twin loop brand new it's gonna be soft as hell.

Wait a couple of weeks and the whole note changes... I would suggest waiting for a bit and let the material inside soften up. Sounds totally different and way louder...

so your t1r b pipe is pretty much straight through with no resonators?

twin loop was never made to be loud

if you want loud get another exhaust
like i said i dont want a screaming loud buddyclub spec 2 style exhaust, i just want a little extra beef

i would like it to sound like whats in the vid.

so you still have all the resonators and cat yet its louder than what was in the vid?

the muffler will get louder as it gets older - if its brand new it will be quiet as hell
as it ages it will get louder and louder until it eventually is a drone box
not so much in the Mugen muffler - these usually settle to a nice revvy sound
but replicas like x-force S10 and S12 will end up droning like a canon with a sock stuck in it after a year or so

Your comparing a very quite exhaust to the loudest exhaust, theres so many exhaust between that range, so Lan's right about another exhaust if you want that little extra beef.

I heard a twin-loop exhaust today on a B18C, it wasn't loud but it sounded nice. My mate on his EK4 has a twinloop, it's louder because of the 4-2-1 headers.

good luck anyways bro

^^ Cheers mate!

Mine was almost new when i got it but it has opened up alot after some driving / bedding in.

Its not loud but it might be louder that what you are describing cause of the cat. Try installing a Hi Flow Cat - that might help. Good luck

My advise to you is get a highflow cat, dont cut up such an expensive muffler.
The middle resonator is to reduce drone as well, and drones a real bitch.
Furthermore, not many exhaust shops out there will be able to weld it even close to the quality of Mugen. Shit many cant even weld stainless steel well.

Also with a fat tummy, your not gonna be able to hear your exhaust much after you crossover no matter how loud your exhaust is....

Have you gotten a mate to do a drive by to hear exactly how loud the xhorst is?

I would be more than happy to swap my stock ITR muffler for his Mugen Twin Loop. PM me if interested.
