Now the negatives....It's FUGLY, bulky, and heavy.


It's very typical of this forum, where people with no firsthand experience spread misinformation. If you never tried it, used it, work on it, then shut the hell up.


Get it. I have first hand experience with this piece of shit muffler...removing it from a friends car. I rode and drove his car many times and had to listen to the damn drone and raspy nastiness until he got tired of it and I helped him swap it out for something else that didn't SUCK!

It's very typical of someone from SoCal, to defend some piece of shit part because they have it installed on their car, then try to rebuke everyone that has a different experience or says something negative about that piece of shit part.

Could this post have been reworded so that I didn't sound like an asshole? Possibly...

what would be the fun in that?

I havent heard a twin loop that acutally sounds good and isnt loud either, and I've experienced them first hand. Maybe it just sounds like shit on hondas, or they were using the even cheaper ebay knock offs of the knock offs of a knock off. from that video, yours sounds pretty damn good.

Thanks everyone for the input.
I was talking to a guy a couple years ago that had an nx with VE and 3" exhaust with a twin loop. He tracked and dailt drove the car.
The vids he showed me were of him accellerating away from a dead stop and a drive by with a downshift.
TRhe thing was rediculously quiet.
Thats why I asked this question here....I recently removed my vibrant muffler off a 2.5 system on a VE car. The difference was barely noticeable except in VVL(still not much difference without the muffler even on)
So Now I plan to go 3" and wanted to try something other than Vibrant.
I really want and should just bite the bullet and save for a Apexi WS2...however thats a 300 dollar muffler....NOt trying to be cheap but DAMN 300 for just a muffler is what the whole rest of the exhaust costs
I also looked at the dynomax"flapper" lol But it seems like when the flap opens it lets out all the bees nest.
So looking at the twin loop for 100 or less,seemed like a possibility.If it sucks,then I keep it until I can lube my anus for the WS2 later.

Keep the input coming. I wish they had a "muffler dyno" or something like that to test flow of mufflers and resonators...maybe they do?

I have a 2.5" VRS catback on my NX, I forget what muffler they use with it, but it's not raspy at all and sounds great. Forgot to mention that I have a nice big resonator on there, so that might be helping a lot.
