In search of the Mugen twin loop full exhaust system - Honda Prelude Forum

melzAOMK247 · 01-08-2013, 05:49 PM

I have a 2000 base model 5th generation prelude. I have the AEM V2 intake and i put greddy headers on it a long time ago...i ordered a mugen twin loop, but the vendor said the manufacturer no longer makes them...SUPER disappointed cause i cant find it anywhere? I want to buy one...i also know a metal fabricater..so if i knew the specs and materiLs used..maybe i can have one built..like a replica...your thoughts??????

Hah...depluralize headers if u must...it was a 4-2-1 setup into the stock exhaust..so i believe i am not getting the max potential HP since the air flow output was never modified..until after increase the pipes and muffler on the way out...not sure tho

Anyways..the point of my post was to ask if it is wise to build an exhaust to the same specs, or to find someone selling the actual product i want..i am looking for performance gains amd i would like to try to do what will get me the most out of my car!

- Hytech Replica Header
- KTeller 3" Exhaust Piping Kit for 97-01 Prelude's
- 3" x 18" Vibrant Resonator
- 3" Universal Muffler
- 3" Universal High Flow Cat (If you have to pass emissions)
- Get a chipped ECU and get it tuned.

The list bloodSHed gave, with the addition of a 3" x 8" flex pipe, is what would give you the highest whp gains for an exhaust setup. It will be louder than the Mugen twin loop. I personally went with Kteller's 2.5" piping in stainless steel.

3" Kteller Exhaust Piping Kit - $238.50 + shipping
3" x 18" Vibrant Resonator - $103.33 (free shipping)
3" x 8" Universal Flex Pipe - $19.49 (free shipping)
3" Vibrant Muffler - $134.50 (free shipping)
3" Magnaflow High Flow Cat - $75.74 (free shipping)

Those are prices I found on Kteller.com and eBay. Total is $571.56 for that list, plus shipping for the Kteller kit. I would put you at $600, for an exhaust that would crap on a brand name $700-1000 exhaust.

As far as the header situation goes, the Hytech replica is the header of choice for a lot of prelude owners. It is much cheaper once again than brand name headers out there like the $500 DC sports and Greddy choices. You would be looking at around $250 for the Hytech replica. 11whp dyno proven on a stock prelude.

Basically you get a sweet header and exhaust for less than a Mugen twin loop.

exept with vibrant you dont have to cut anything or weld any flex pipes anywhere - much easier to install so it pays little bit back its higher price

@ that 01 bb6 .. What made u wanna go with 2.5" over the 3" piping u recommended to me? Stainless steel i wud assume for durability...size of the pipes wud increase/decrease airflow...in turn, altering sound and horsepower ?

That 01 BB6 · 01-10-2013, 01:09 PM

I went with 2 5" piping because I didn't want the extra noise and vibration that is associated with a 3" exhaust. You have to think long term with purchases like this, do you think you're the type of person that can tolerate loud exhaust noise for long periods of time? I daily drive my car, and don't want any unwanted attention.

Parts are trickling in thru the mail..just waiting for the pipes and the muffler...is it worth getting the hitech replica header and replacing the greddy header i already have i stalled???

That 01 BB6 · 01-22-2013, 01:11 PM

Yes replace the greddy header. It doesn't have a 2.5" collector and pretty much adds no whp at all.

TypeT · 01-23-2013, 12:03 AM

you can probably sell that greddy to someone.. youll get some of your money back

check this out too
High end H22A tri Y header

if youre going to buy replica parts you have to do some cutting there anyway

melzAOMK247 · 01-24-2013, 11:02 PM

The vibrant h22header says it will bolt up and it has a 2.5 outlet...will this be okay since i already got the kteller 3" piping respnator and muffler?

Someone posted a mint one for 600 in the For sale section, just a heads up.
