Xforce twinloop...

[I heart the SSS]

Does anyone have this system on their car?

I heard they begin to leak after a while...

Just wondering if this is true :S

And i'm guessing they all sound similar..

Thanks

[aaronng]

Moving to the technical section.

[STOCK]

I had a S10 for about 2.5 years with no dramas at all

[Limbo]

i had one for a yr and no issues

[hondajazz2005]

i had the s12 for 5 days now..... no cons so far...... lol

[rayb3na_]

rofls !

[I heart the SSS]

Think i may end up going twinloop then ..

[Lukezen27]

I've had one on my car for over two years now without a problem.. :thumbsup:

And I'm selling mine soon!!

[simonnowis]

i had the s10 before, a great muffler for the price. i plan on getting one for my ek, but dont know if it will clear the subframe and swaybar :(

It will clear.. Its just having a good exhaust shop to do it once and do it right.. A shit exhaust shop did mine and the piping(though unrelated to the twinloop muffler) rattle against swaybar when its warmed up.. fuked up.. So get a good exhaust shop.. any muffler is good to clear..

[simonnowis]

nah, not all mufflers clear, i had a straight through hi-tech oval muffler and there was no way to fit the muffler as it got in the way of the asr brace and swaybar d-brackets even with extended piping, so i had to use a smaller berkley muffler. from wat i remember the x-force twinloop was a pretty big muffler similar size to the hi-tech

[mrwillz]

XFORCE should be alrite on most hondas if not all

how loud are twin loops? looking at getting something to replace my N1 cause its way too loud.
would a twin loop pass rego - or at least get close?

Sure will

I passed my Engineered certificate with heaps of DB's to spare.

lol I'm moving to the N1 heheh

it was probably ur turbo that muffled the noise...

i had a twin loop before and i found it way loud..

probably only the real mugen ones are quiet

[beeza]

I Love mine,check my review out with sound clips :)

turbo's do absorb A LOT of engine combustion noise as they get muffled in the turbine.

perfect examples are NA SR20/RB25 versus their turbo variant's... even the VTECs.. can't even here crossover on most turbo setups...

lol.. u had a twin loop and tot it was way loud?

U decat or wat? twin loop is so soft, I have to open the windows to hear anything..lol..

As long as its a twin loop style muffler, it is softer than a straight through.. Mugen or not, twin loop is twin loop..

[beeza]

Mine's not that soft but it's a nice note,not drone-ing...
I really like the sound it gives.

[Limbo]

Ricer had the s12, the sporty twin-loop.
The s10 is quite abit quieter.

I had the s10 wasn't too bad at all.

about 1/2 the loundness of a canon, on the same setup.

The mugen ones work alot better than the x-force ones but cost like 4x the amount also ;)

[rayb3na_]

my twin loop is shitloud anybody thats heard my car should be able to tell you that.. it starts crackling when i give it a hit.

[beeza]

Is it an X-force?

[rayb3na_]

yeah but the guy who owned it before me customised it

[beeza]

I see.

[kraiye]

i've noticed on some pics that on good twin loops, the tail piece itself is like a muffler and has holes in it. on cheaper ones its just a pipe with no muffling. guess that would make a diff too!

[Limbo]

later models had the holes in the tailpipe.
The earlier versions didn't. I had both, didn't make any difference at all

[vinnY]

have to remember guys the muffler itself isn't the only thing thats going to quiet down your exhaust
cai/sri intakes are going to make induction noise louder, even at idle
ss headers are thinner than your stock headers which lets more sound out
have a b-pipe without a resonator is going to be louder than normal

used to have a twinloop from trav ages ago and it was fairly quiet, had a custom b-pipe with a small resonator, changed to a mugen catback and it was even quieter because of the large resonator on the b-pipe
sold the twinloop to a mate and he whacked it on his teg, little to no difference in sound levels from his old 4" canon because the rest of his exhaust was pretty much straight through

why th fvck didn't i ever think of that... needed another reso but had nowhere else to put it...

[vinnY]

not sure where you'd find larger resonators though, make all the straight bits on your b-pipe out of resonators? :p

yeah i've got an 18in at the moment near the rear but theres too many bends and flanges everywhere.. you gave me a great idea though... i think i can fit a 16in somewhere after the cat :) :thumbsup::thumbsup:

The ITR muffler buzzes like all other oem honda mufflers when theres insufficient 'resonating' in a system above 2in...

[vinnY]

if you need one dude, i got a spare one at home you can have instead of buying one from the exhaust shop :) iirc its about 16in or so

[Limbo]

you can get resonators that are as short as 10cm if your really wanting it.

I use to run a single reasonator on my twinloop. 2 on my old canon

[[ricer]]

i had a 2.5inch exhaust and ran 1 resonator and a gt28r and it was quiet as with a straight thru muffler too!

[bal]

had one for ages, single res 2.5' no problems so far, fairly quiet untill 6000rpm

[blabla]

hey guys just wondering which one of the twin loop mufflers i should be looking at i got civic coupe so ye s12 or s10

[geeang]

S12, they don't make S10's anymore.

[kraiye]

whats the diff?

[Jarkz]

yeah but the guy who owned it before me customised it

Would like to hear exhaust note....

And what customization have been performed?

[shebangs]

I had one. For the price you can't go wrong. Spend money on brand name headers, high flow cat, then get any exhaust shop to weld this onto 2.25 mandrel bent custom cat back with a long hotdog and it'll sound sweet and not drone when cruising.

Only problem with mine (original Mugen copy, s10 I think?) was at a certain RPM it would make a tinie sound. But that was expected behavior.
