Summary:
Great sounding muffler!!

when looking for an exhaust for my civic i was afraid i was gonna have a very loud ricy kind of tinny sound if i bought certain exhausts. I then read up on this marvelous muffler and foudn out it was perfect for what i was going for. the sound made my b16 sound like a motor twice its size very deep growl down low (not too loud) the open it up it and it really comes alive, like a simphony tones only vtec and mugen can make.

Strengths:
Great sound!
good performance gains over stock
rare (because of price)
extremly good fabrication
less police attention

Weaknesses:
price
may make 1-2 hp less then some other straight thru mufflers

Summary:
Excellent. Beautiful. Superb. And P.S. kinda like the other poster said, Mugen is THE official aftermarket builder of Honda performance parts. Started in I believe 1973 by the son of the founder of Honda. All in the family, and all super sweet stuff.

Strengths:
Fit and finish, torque gains and sound.

Weaknesses:
$$ but worth it. If you have to ask why, perhaps you shouldn't buy it.

Summary:
I bought the rear section only, second hand in immaculate condition. It is off JDM Accord Torneo F22B, so needs custom piping from axle back to the inlet of this gorgeous muffler.

It's a whole new experience: never seen a muffler so well built before (Remus,RS*R and HKS Super Dragger included), sounds relatively quiet, and yet it's the closet thing to straight through muffler without the noise which is a problem at warrant of fitness check. Performance is great, can't notice any loss power over my old 5Zigen straight through muffler...and I'm quite senstitive to any changes with my Lude.

Its peculiar but almost artistic shape tempted me to use it as a house decoration but that would be silly =)

The bottom line is: once you have Mugen Twin Loop, you will NEVER want any other muffler brands/types...unless you own Italian supercars which can't use Mugen =)

Strengths:
Overall quality
Original design
Quiet sound
Can't notice any power loss over straight thru 5Zigen Fireball
Mugen brand & logo etched on the tip =)

Weaknesses:
Rather heavy - to be very pedantic
Price & availability: new one would cost me NZ$2K for the catback system

Summary:
The muffler sounds amazing on my 94 honda accord LX non-vtec it is not raspy at all and sounds good all throughout the range , i feel the power bump down low definatly

Strengths:
quiet unless pushed hard

Weaknesses:
looks like a trombone at first but then realize it looks more badass then a ricer fart cannon and it sounds better too

Summary:
This exhaust sounds GREAT. It has a very nice low growl that doesn't become deafening fart noises at high rpm like other exhausts. It's still quiet even at wide open throttle VERY NICE. If you are running n/a on a honda/acura this is a MUST for an exhaust system, don't go out buying some piece of crap $75 muffler and have it welded on! this fits perfectly, I didn't need any modification except for welding new flanges onto the cat. I recommend that if you only buy the muffler and not the full system, please install a resonator! I installed just the muffler for dyno test before installing the B-pipe and it sounded like RICE =( With the B-pipe and resonator on it was nice and quiet =)

Strengths:
-great sound -quiet enough (cops don't notice" -not too big (all you see is the tip, the muffler is tucked perfectly behind your bumper) -DEFINATELY WORTH THE MONEY -sounds better than my CD player! I listen to MUGEN when i'm on the freeway! ^_^

Weaknesses:
-NONE
