He said it wasn't titanium. J's racing mufflers are titanium so that is out of the question. The only [well known] cat back system that uses SS steel is either Mugen or Fujitsubo that you would have to actually order from Japan. Like I said, if it's not titanium, what's the point? You can get a KTeller with a Hytech loop for cheaper.

ill get them up as soon as it gets here and i plan on making 3 videos, 1 with stock exhaust and header with just an intake, 1 with the ITR header and mugen midpipe but stock axleback, and 1 with ITR header and full mugen exhaust...figured why not add to the list of exhaust vids

I'll go buy an Ebay exhaust and compare.


The sound of the Mugen exhaust is nice, not raspy at all. Authentic Mugen products have been proven to have "functionality" along with quality..... RedSiBaron Bought himself a quality product..... I see nuthin wrong with that.

THANKS A LOT! it took me a year of trickling money into my savings from every paycheck JUST for the exhaust (between school, bills, rent, and working only 6months out of the year)...got my tax return, got that extra lil 300 and i can FINALLY afford it...feels like this has been in the works for 7 years

the full price from king, :noidea: same price youll HAVE to pay for it new...

i know its a lot, but thats why i took so long to save for it, just put away 50 bucks here 50 bucks there kinda thing, so i really never noticed the loss of cash...knew it was the only way id be able to afford it...it took a lot of control to leave the mini exhaust fund alone, and i ran out of money last quarter so i had to take 500 out of my savings for it, but tax return filled it back up and allowed me to buy the itr header...my plan was to buy it before it got discontinued kinda thing...but now ill be able to put it on instead of saving money up again for the header

i keep my hands out of my pockets...thats how i can afford something...im not going to get upset, i worked for it...

Dude that exhaust is like $675 in Hongkong back in 2006. It's nice. I went to this shop in Mongkok where this tight ass EP3 w/ Project Mu Brakes, Mugen accesories and etc. He's the shop owner. Yeah he was selling me that Mugen twin loop muffler for that price. Yes you have to take into account shipping so it comes out to be a little more when it gets to the U.S.

This is an awesome exhaust. Quality is among the best and the fitment is guaranteed. But sometimes it feels like you are really paying for the name. I'm not hating, but for $1100 + you can get a pretty freakin nice custom exhaust setup + have it gold plated!!!! Lol

Like I said not to knock your dreams down. I know you wanted this for a while and gosh darn it you deserve it! I just know what I would have done.

yah, but the price difference was only about 100 bucks, so yah it was 100 more but that extra 300 i got from the gov. offset it :mwink:

oh yah totally onboard with you 100%, i know i could have built my own exhaust thats just as nice, but its just not what im doing with the ep...i have 2 other total custom fab race car and street/strip builds that are currently on hold (no time but ive collected the parts over 7 years)



ive wanted a mugen exhaust since i was 15 when i went through my fathers old mugen cataloges from 84-90...he was planning a sweet full mugen build for a 1st gen teg motor to drop into his 84 dx, but the timing belt broke on his car and destroyed the engine so it got parked, but then was too busy with his company to go ahead and build the teg motor to put the car back on the road...so when i was rebuilding my 86si mechanically over the years i always drooled and wondered what it would be like to buy mugen parts, and now i have a car i can buy the quality parts for that are built to oem quality...so if you havnt figured it out, this isnt just some exhaust to me, its kinda a culmination of all the work ive done on my civics over the years...:mbiggrin:

nothing about my ep is done because its jdm, im building it to be what it was meant to be and what keeps to the essense of what it was...so it wont be the most insane or stand out car when its done, but it will be true to the design, and frankly jdm oem is going to be a major part of that...mugen as well (though im not sure what else i will buy thats mugen...)

The best part of the exhaust is the noise canceling qualitys of the muffler. I can attest to the loop design muffler really reducing the exhaust tone at mild throttle settings, but breathes very well when hammering on it!

exactly, yet another reason i was down with the mugen...once again, cuz the info you gave me...

one thing that sold me on the exhaust also is that all the mounting points are stock, so during winter i can take the twin loop axle back off and put the stock ep3 axle back on so the salt doesnt destroy my mugen axle back finish (sure it will tarnish the midpipe, but no body sees the midpipe, not like its going to rust off...I LOVE ME SOME STAINLESS)

yah definitely, but ill probably just stick with the ITR header even after im swapped, since im not building the engine i wont need anything more...plus now that i know that the BCRH wont even bolt up right from buddy club really bothers me, and part of my build is perfect oem fitment parts...plus i dont want a RH without a cat heh...

left out an "a" haha :mconfused:

yah so far the build has been working out perfect for the oem fitment, and its worked out to clean as can be...

i dont want to do fab work on this car, i have 2 other projects that are that way, the race car is 100% fab work that we are having to do, and the engine that was in it is going into my other car, that engine has, lets see 2 off the shelf bolt on parts that were not fabbed, thats the unorthodox racing underdrive pully and the aem cam gear haha, even the off the shelf hedman header required modification and the morroso oil pan is requiring an oil line for our extra oil cooler...haha...even getting a billet crank, rods and pistons...

so we are doing a b16 build in the racecar now so we can atleast buy the parts we are building it with, and have 300hp instead of 180 :mbiggrin:

it was a bitch, but now htat i have it, its a dream come true...7 years of wanting a mugen exhaust on my Si, never woulda thought it would be on an 02 haha

oh yah i figured thats what you mean, see i still have all my badges on the back, so i dont want to add any more, ill figure out a use for it...maybe add it to the HVAC panels on the dash when i get new silver ones some day...

and even though it is the ek one, thats kinda cool seeing the twin loop...doesnt matter, its still sweet shit!


should post a video of it on the road :rockon:


^^please post a vid on the road.

i'd give you five bucks for gas to do that again! it sounds like it was worth every penny man; it sounds so effin sweet.


^^^+3 woohooo on the road


lol:mtongue:

yah definitely, its hard, jason (blueep3piece) and i were going to do that when we put it on, but it was so late, and it was dark...im sure we can get some shots on sunday at the very least...ill see if i can get some before that, hopefully we can capture audio though...either way it sounds SOOOO much sweeter when the exhaust is warm, that video i took was with cold pipes and a warm engine...

saving bunches of money for a swap while i get my red 86si on the road (thank god i have all the parts, just need to fix body and paint and assemble), and then make progress on the racecar, THEN i can start thinking about the ep again...if i find a deal on any pretty exterior/interior parts before then, i may get them...

thanks!! its nice to hear someone say that...i never really would have thought id buy an exhaust ever, ive always just fabbed my own with generic magnaflow/dynamax mufflers haha, not for the ep though...

i figured if im keeping the car i might as well buy that mugen exhaust ive wanted since i was 15 that will last as long as the car does...

nope not really, it sounds great, not too loud at 70 in 5th...

haha ya im sure somewhere i mentioned that id let it warm up...i never ever ever ever rev an engine when its cold, ever...it had been raining all day as well, so all that coming out of the exhaust is steam from the hot exhaust

i know its your opinion and thats fine...

but have you seen a toda, or buddy club exhaust? would you consider those worth the money?...i would and ive seen them and IMO the mugen is higher quality and its only 300 more than a toda exhaust...

...plus my exhaust wont detract from the value of the car :mangel:

civicsipower03
07-17-2008, 07:01 PM
I consider 300$ to by a lot of money and a exhaust is just a exhaust i can make a high quality one for 200$ and its going to by a lot lighter than any of the aftermarket ones aluminium or stainles steall it dont mater when its all set and done u end up with a piece of metal.

very true, but for $200 i cant engineer an exhaust to give the tuned performance and sounds mugen did...i was looking for a specific oem sound, and im doing ZERO fabrication on this car project, if it doesnt bolt up, drop in, im not installing it, i have 2 entirely custom fab projects already i dont need a third...

if i wasnt trying to build the nicest ep i possibly can, then id of just fabbed up a side pipe with a 4 inch magnaflow glasspack bolted to a buddy club RH...and let me tell you, i would REALLY REALLY like to fab up a 4inch magnaflow glasspack sidepipe for my ep...haha


i am thinking though of making a straight pipe in place of the axle back that bolts up to the mugen midpipe for winter...or just buying an rsx type s midpipe to bolt to my stock axleback for winter...well see...

regardless just the mugen midpipe is HELLA loud and deep without the axleback...loud enough i didnt want to take a spin around the block...

It's life, you are given choices, some may be more expensive than other but its' your choice to buy whatever fits you. If you want to be cheap, buy ebay tsudo. If you want to be like the rest; buy greddy, skunk2, hks, and etc. If you want to be JDM and be baller status; get spoon, mugen, toda.

i dunno, i can see it being small, but for my plans of the craziest my car will get will be a straight swapped dc5r k20a+transmission setup is about it, so my setup will be perfect for that...may consider an upgraded header but thats it...i dont really see the point of going bigger than 2.25 unless FI
