Huh, If no one here has heard of it before I wouldn't put it on the car!! Just because it looks the same doesn't mean it's the same (or anywhere close)

BB AP1-

Yeah, I've heard of them, but I'm not impressed. The headers they make for the B16a/B18c look surprisingly like the same things Feel's and JUN sell- and those don't make any more power than the DC 4-1 header, even if they use better quality materials.

A guy in Toronto claims that they're "just like Mugen." I haven't seen documented proof. He also claims they make/made/currently/past tense exhaust manifolds for the Pro-Drive WRC team. Again, there's no documented proof.

If these things are as good as Mugen perhaps they should show the results. I'm sure Hirotoshi Honda would be VERY interested in it!

I have no idea who this company is, but a friend of mine has a "Mugen Clone" exhaust on a Intrega GSR.

This company basicly reverse engineered and made an identical copy of the Mugen exhaust, then manufactured it and sold it for less. While being shady and unethical, there is no reason that this company couldn't have just copied the dimmensions of a mugen header, and made the exact same thing. It happens all the time in just about every industry.

What you don't get for your $800 is the name, the same level of quality and the excelent customer service that you will get spending the extra $500 from someone like King.

IMO as always.

krazik,

Is it a DC Sports exhaust? I saw one by them in a catalog recently that looks like it stole the Mugen idea of doubling back the exhaust stream. Up to this point I had thought them a reputable company.
