Any 7th gens with twin loops?
 
I'm looking at getting a twin loop muffler and doing a custom cat-back anyone on here have one and can post maybe a sound clip or pics or even just tell me what they think of it? Thanks

If you are thinking about getting one of those mugen knock-offs on ebay DON'T DO IT!!!!! I ordered one of those and it was soo cheaply made. I swear some of it was glued together.

Save up for an Apex'i or Greddy muffler, you will be so much happier in the long run.

dblclutchin 03-14-2007 02:56 AM

No I'm going to buy a quality one maybe a netami or if thats to expenisive I'll get an obx. But yah I'm not going to but the $30 glued one on eBay.

i def like that exhaust... which one is that, and is it still in production?

texascivic2k1 03-14-2007 10:03 AM

Just F.Y.I. From what I have heard (not from my experience) in the past the DC Sport twin canister don't have the best weldments and don't hold up to long for the price you pay. If you search you can find some of those old post.

Have you had any problems with it TRIZ? Just wondering.

satinsilvervic 03-14-2007 12:42 PM

i had the twin can for 3 years and heven't had any problems with it except for the boulder i hit. i would of got it again but could not find it and i don't think they make it anymore

mrtrinh 03-14-2007 02:19 PM

i've heard good things about the obx twinloop. It has good welds and and is 2.5 inlet and the loop part itself is also 2.5. The problem with the netami twin loop is that it is a 2 inch inlet and all around so you would be bottlenecking. Go onto honda tech and read up the reviews the people did on the obx twinloop. Many of the members are very satisfied with the muffler.

dblclutchin 03-14-2007 02:21 PM

Thanx man, and BTW you can still find the dc exhaust but it's really expenisive I seen it last night online but didn't care to remember where.

dblclutchin 03-14-2007 02:55 PM

Is there a link for the reviews are they in the tech section on here or are they at hondatech.com?

junior h.m 03-14-2007 04:00 PM

i was thinking about getting one but though they were bad im subscried jus incase theirs more 411

I wish I didn't get rid of my DC twin canister early in the life of my 7th gen...but yeah, they still sell it, its discontinued and a vendor on Ebay is selling them...I'm considering picking up another one hopefully...it did add some bottom end to the powerband...

TRIZ 03-14-2007 07:34 PM

^^ yep thats where I got it from. The seller account is actually AEM direct. Its discontinued and they are liquidating their inventory.

The welds are awesome. Its one hell of a solid exhaust. Its kind of heavy and sits a little lower then I'd expect. Its def not an exhaust for everyone. I have an lx and I went headers back with ex components. Its the most quiet aftermarket exhaust I've ever heard. It peeks at 2.5-3k and sounds like stock after that.

As for lowend.. I dont know, I upgraded with free-er flowing headers and downpipe as well, along with the other pipes as well, I notice more kick to the engines output, but I really think thats from yanking the pea shooter piping off.

I can post a few pics of it installed. It does look really sweet. I've caught a few ppl lookin at it, I'm kind of worried that its going to get jacked. I was looking into locking hexnuts and shit, lol. Marketing book time. peace out for now

DsevenEm2 03-14-2007 07:41 PM

um just wondering... what does the twin loop or twin canister or w.e thing do.....whats the purpose of it. How does it help?

burke420 03-14-2007 09:14 PM

why not buy a spoon or Mugen axle back and custom weld a pipe to make it fit.

mrtrinh 03-14-2007 09:23 PM

here's the thread
http://www.honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1219989

twin loop is an exhaust muffler in which it passes through the chamber twice(the loop) to help supress the sound and give a little bit of back pressure so you won't lose that much torque compared to the other cat-back systems that are made for our cars. IMO this is one of the best sounding exhaust out there, but if you are looking for a loud deep exhaust, this muffler is not for you.

BlackieEM2 03-15-2007 12:04 AM
