Hey guys ive tried to put on my fd2r rear bumprr and it fits only problem is that the twin tip muffler is touching the kit and could melt / burn it.
Any suggestions on what muffler i should get for a decent price , was thinking a single tip Canon muffler.
Any good decent price place to have a look at was thinking liverpool.exhaust.

Orr go to an exhaust shop and they can make it hang a little lower. Shouldn't cost more than 50-100

When i installed my FD2r kit i decided to cut the left muffler tip off. then i drove it for 2 days and melted my bumper, following that i paid 150 to cut off the melted bits underneath the bumper and mold the rest straight lol. So my suggestion is not to drive it around, change it asap. I got a Kakimoto Racing Universal Silencer - GT1.0Z from nengun for about $ 450 shipped from memory, sounds great, nice and deep. http://www.nengun.com/kakimoto-racing/universal-silencer-gt10z

Yeah no problem, ill try and get a video of my exhaust on the weekend so you can get a good idea of what to expect if you buy the same one. And as for the noise, it is pretty loud.

Yeah black8thgen its the same as yours, it is just the muffler. As for gains in performance i feel a slight increase in mid and top range. Im going be parting out the kakimoto muffler within the next 2 months because i need a larger muffler + varex to go 3 inch all the way through for the k24 conversion :( but i like the sound it gives now, perfect for a daily drive.
