Hey everybody,
Just wanted to get some feedback & opinions on Mugen exhaust components for a DC2R:
1. On the basis that an R is sitting 3/4" - 1" lower than standard, the research I have completed so far indicates that the Mugen 4-1 header (like most 4-1's) has average ground clearance. But how about the Gymkhana 4-2-1? It seems that the Toda & Js Racing 4-2-1 designs have the best clearance sitting slightly higher than the oil pan. On the other hand I believe that the Spoon 4-2-1 sits pretty damn low. But I haven't been able to confirm anything on the Gymkhana.
2. Alot of U.S based owners have commented on clearance issues with the Mugen twinloop system. Again considering a 3/4" - 1" lowered ride height, it seems that the resonator on the B-Pipe is the culprit, with the rear section incorporating the twinloop muffler itself not causing any dramas. Seeing as they make also make a version specifically for the U.S delivered R's (which I assume has smaller piping & is shorter in length to cater for a longer cat), there maybe a difference in resonator size. As of yet, I haven't been able to confirm whether any Twinloop users here in Aus are having the same clearance dilemmas. As I know there are a quite a few ClubITR members running the JDM specification twinloop, I was hoping to get some feedback about whether anyone is having similar dramas.
Thanks heaps guys
