Mugen DC2 Exhaust system from honda.co.nz

Hey All,

I was wondering if anyone knew anybody from Honda NZ that could source me a Twinloop system for less than they have on the site. Online you can buy it for my DC2 for $1370 (cat back I assume).

Cheers

You cant get a discount on the exhaust, if you know someone with a trade account you get it shipped for free is all.
Good exhaust and worth the price ( I know, I bought one )

Are you serious? i know two people that had it on their civics and from hearing their exhaust in the car and following from behind, they sound ALOT louder than the 95? db limit

Though they sound knarly on vtec!

Re: Mugen DC2 Exhaust system from honda.co.nz

Ive got a mugen exhaust and headers waiting to go on my car. Cant wait to get them on either!
Do you want a brand new one? If you dont you could try find a 2nd hand one? Otherwise I would have to say that Honda are the going to be your best bet.

Re: Mugen DC2 Exhaust system from honda.co.nz

and it doesn't really sound tinny to me either, just a deep sound and then vtec roar.

Different motor, and different car i guess.

This is a EJ/EG9 buddy club spec 3 pro with hytech headers

Re: Mugen DC2 Exhaust system from honda.co.nz

A Buddyclub exhaust already comes with a muffler since it's a full exhaust. The Buddyclub will give you more power than the RPS + Xforce combo.

Re: Mugen DC2 Exhaust system from honda.co.nz

as I said, depends which system and what car.
you know they come with a silencer for the street if it bugs you.
