Mugen Twin Loop fitted...plus smashed out cat

Still not fitted my DC2 air box yet! Just ordered a cold intake kit and need to get some brackets in order for it to sit correctly, so more on that soon.

Yesterday I did manage to get the Mugen Twin Loop exhaust fitted though. While fitting the exhaust system we noticed that the baffles inside the cat were collapsed. Probably did not do much for the flow and explains why it only just scrapped through emissions on the MOT test.

So, we smashed out the cat and fitted it with the exhaust system.

The Twin Loop is nice on idle. A little bit louder than the stock system on tick over, nice and throaty. You can tell its not stock.

On VTEC it really shines. Not overally loud but louder and throaty enough to enjoy and actually sound sporty.

The best thing though is the response/torque that has been achieved. I am not sure how much of this is due to the smashed out cat or how much is from the Twin Loop but it picks up really nice now.

I now have that the tinny sound from the cat though, can't be helped. Come MOT time I am going to try and get hold of a second hand cat or a sports cat. Anyone know of any?

I am pleased with the exhaust modifications so far and looking forward to the DC2 box and cold air feed even more now.An EK9 + bolt on's, decat and Hondata S300 + tune IMO must really create a very fast, responsive, streetable car.
