My new T1R exhaust vs Mugen
Just got my new T1R exhaust installed. Here's my impression compare to the Mugen that I used to have.
My old setup:
Mugen intake
T1R header
T1R test pipe
Mugen exhaust 60mm split to 40mm piping
New setup:
Mugen Intake
T1R Header
T1R test pipe
T1R exhaust (single outlet) 63mm piping
From 1000-3000rpm, the Mugen seems to have better acceleration, however starting at 4000rpm with the T1R exhaust the car pulls a lot stronger. VTEC pull from 6000-9000
, it's a night and day difference 
!!! I thought my car is one of the weakest built F20C, but now I feel that my car has much more power, so it doesn't seem like it anymore.
Soundwise, the T1R is much louder than the Mugen but quieter then Spoon , J's or Buddyclub. With the silencer, it sounded so much quiet like Mugen.
Here's some pics for it.
The T1R system weight only 29 lbs including b-pipe , test pipe and muffler. Very decent IMO.

Without silsencer the T1R (stock cat) is at least 20%-30% quieter. I mean when I had the silencer on, it is only slightly bit louder than Mugen

any melting issues so far? that tip looks kinda close to the bumper and assume you put that insulation there for it correct?
