Anyone have any experience with this muffler? With that price and some of the youtube clips I have heard, I'm tempted...

as for this brand, i think they make economical copies of prestigious aftermarket products. This is a copy of mugen right? The price on this is fair so i would go for it ;)

yes this is a copy of the mugen twinloop, i'd prefer that one but i can buy 8 of these for the price of a mugen version :lol:

Isn't 2.5" piping a little too big for a 1.4 though? I don't think stock is anywere near that size, and that muffler says its made for 2.5"

it's big for sure but you only get the muffler right? I mean you don't get a complete cat back exhaust in 2.5 size. I don't think it will make a big difference or it will be worse due to its big size. As for fitment you will need an exhaust center to deal with it i guess.

Yeah you buy the muffler only but i wasnt sure if you can make some kind of adapter to fit it or if you needed to change the piping :oops:

I thought the point was to reduce noise without reducing power, but I could be wrong
