Got both these on today with help of dad and uncle. Took long...lol

Anyways its these products...

Ractive MTP330 - Very impressive quality. Shiny and nice welding. Sounded a bit stock while idle and once you go faster its throatier...My uncle says very smart design. Not a loud one!

Ractive H101 - Typically welding but will do. Chrome. Car pulls stronger and faster with both of these on. Much smoother transisitions to.

Overall I like both The header is so so quality but will do for me and how much i got for it... The muffler is a definate yes.

YAY! Now if somebody could just pay for my dyno tests!

Please dont mention ractive and mugen in one sentance.

And another thing... why switch to a ractive header? you'll dyno higher with the oem exhaust manifold.

Got proof to back the exhasut manifold lie? Trust me you won't you....

Got proof to back the exhasut manifold lie? Trust me you won't get more power with a stock one over the Ractive header you....Did you even compare the two? The DX manifold is ****.

And why can't I say Ractive and Mugen in the same sentence? I'm saying it right now. I'm stating the truth. It's a Ractive copy of the Mugen Twin Loop.

How much did you pay? From what I read on this forum, the Mugen Twin Loop muffler is just a bit louder than stock? Is this true? Is it obnoxiously loud? I want a stock looking muffler and don't want it be loud at all. Hope you can help me out.

Thanks,
Fred

Well since JDM Warehouse (Amar is a good guy BTW) had a August sale and how they give warehouse prices, I paid 365 for the muffler. Other places wanted 410+ for it. And the header is around 217.

Vato...Yes it is all true. When you start the car it's very quiet and just a bit louder than stock. A tiny bit. But once you speed up it gets more throatier. My uncle liked it very much. It's not annoying, totally liveable.

Its not loud *** like those other LOUD mufflers like my brother has.

Would you be able to get a sound byte?

imported_My93Civic

I'll try getting one in a few days when my bro comes back from uni. He has his digital camera...I have none

imported_My93Civic

Oh screw digital camera...You wanted a sound clip not a video! I'll use my MP3 Playa!

Thanks, I would really appreciate it.

My muffler is not doing it for me no more, there's nothing wrong with it at all....it just looks ugly. The only reason I haven't gone for the muffler is because if I bought a muffer, installed it and it sounded ****ty...money is wasted right there. If I don't buy an aftermarket muffler, I will probably just add an OEM style muffler tip and paint the muffler a flat black, clean up the rear a bit.

Also interested in a photo of the muffler and perhaps a sound clip would be extra nice. I have a 5zigen fireball and it's starting to irritate me on longer drives. Kinda loud and would like somehting on the quieter side.

imported_My93Civic

Maybe tomorrow I can get the sound clip up...

Theres one thing though...The sound clip will have both muffler and header installed. The header may make it sound a lil louder than just with the OEM manifold on.

And for number two...I have a wrong, too rich ECU. It may not sound right because it idles a bit more than it should be...I expect to get the right ECU within the week?

But if you guys still want it, I can get it probably by tomorrows end...

I have pics of the muffler/header.

How big is that tip?

spracingsports

IMO the OBX MTL repilica looks more like the real MTL, than the ractive one does

imported_My93Civic

The tip is about 3.5-4 inches...I can stick my 17 yr old fists in...but Who cares.

Oh sorry I can get an audio clip soon when I get the right ECU. And ya some of you might notice in the disscussion forum - trafficinsurance etc forum that we got in a incident with the police (got busted)...

Anyways I'll still try to get it for ya...Just maybe not gonna be here often now...Gotta figure stuff out.
