    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.

    ...Well then again I was saving up to get a j's racing 70rr exhaust, but I slapped myself until I came back to reality.

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.
    too bad we cant get it for that kinda price! its amazing even in my old cataloges from 1990, the mugen exhausts were still $1000

    too bad you didn't pick it up a few months back. King/Mugen recently jacked up their prices quite a bit. not sure if it's for all Mugen parts, but i know for a fact that their tsx parts went up!!

    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

    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...

    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...)

    That is the main reason why I hate buying JDM parts, most are overpriced because of the exchange rate. So basically you are throwing money in the air.
