I thought you already had a "custom" exhaust fitted? 
I am also a tad confused, why are you still adding bits to a car you want rid of?

its too bad stock honda exhaust manifolds perform almost exactly as good as usual aftermarket ones, but you'll probably notice a slight power change
along with a change in sound
merry christmas...

No, the next thing he'll be trying to figure out why it keeps throwing cat efficiency codes, so his next "mod" will be a piece of black electrical tape to cover the MIL. Dumbass.

That doesn't fit on the K20A, does it?
Also, is this a twin-loop muffler?
What's the point of that?

Il be able to use the exhaust for the k20 just not the header and test pipe but it can be modded to fit. twin loop mufflers
exhaust gas goes through twice
A. quieter cause it...goes through twice
B. dont lose as much backpressure compared to an N1 muffler
C. JDM lol
It was originally developed by Mugen and is now being replicated by Netami(as you pictured), OBX (what i have) and others...mugen twin loop muffler is ~500 dollars for authentic, OBX is 95 new...I got mine for nothing |

The guy who sold me this showed me dyno sheets from before and after he knew the guy at the stop and they did it for fun
Stock-94whp
Exhaust-103whp
103whp is low to say the least, but a gain of almost 10%whp will be noticable, and if i decide to get an intake on there again, that should be good for another 3-4whp
Also, I am ordering Sparco Grip pedals. Since the pedal assembly on my civic and RSX is the same Il be able to use them with the swap, so another little treat

Why buy more parts to hold you over until the swap when you could buy the pieces that are needed for that swap? A 10% horsepower gain isn't really gonna do much either. It may be noticeable but not much.

Considering that it all cost me 75 dollars combined, I think its a great deal. Il be able to reuse the exhaust piping for the K swap althoug it will have to be cut a bit cause the K20 has the header in the back of the motor unlike my car having it in the front. Either way for 75 for a full exhaust you cant beat that deal. Hell I can resell the header the test pipe for 2x that ammount when I get done using them |

Alright here goes....
you may notice in the garage a pipe and second muffler. the exhaust is designed for dual canisters (you will see in future pix). I have no intent for running duals, so the axleback will be cut before the pipe split, and the muffler to the left of the system in the driveway (twin loop) will be put on
get head-er. HP racing makes a single piece header just like this. The only difference is that its chrome finished, this one is ceramic coated
test pipe
2.25 inch mid pipe
rear section...right before that little fork is for the second muffler, its gona get cut off and extended as needed for the twin loop
Twin loop |

This "twin loop" boggles my mid. How exactly does more curves decrease backpressure?

Two questions:
-Why would you want backpressure (genuinely curious, because I always thought it was better to let all of the exhaust gases out).
-Why couldn't a standard muffler create backpressure just by making the pipe thinner or something?
Shouldn't it be called just a "loop muffler", since there is only one loop?
