I'm thinking of going for a new exaust system and want to find out what I can get for the old one. It comes off a 2000 Type R with 90K on it.
#1 - Stock header - no idea what it is worth.
#2 - Mugan Twin Loop muffler 2.25" [cat back with resonator,] Has 19K on it. - in perfect condition - $$ ?
The Cat is spoken for by Carl.
There will be many more bits and pieces as the build progresses.

Andy, I'm not sure what the twin loop is worth, but that would go great on Renata's Phoneix Yellow R, it will feel right at home :). Let me know when you decide on a price.

I have seen some prices for Mugen catback, but I cannot post the price because it is not my thread. Andy, if you want some reference prices, I can disclose the value to you.

I was going to buy a used Hytech header/test pipe/Apexi WS2 exhaust - But it was shite, the header had two of the pipes with deep dent/scrapes [< 3/4"], so I bailed.
So the sale of my stuff is on hold until I can find a good 2.5" header/test pipe/exhaust. If any of you come across some thing like this , please let me know.
I called Hytech and they have a full 2.5" system [including a twin loop exhaust] for $2200 and 4-6 week delivery. That's a lot of money - but it sure is sweet. I have seen claims that it gives 20hp and about 20ftp's of torque on a Type R. Seems a lot!
So if I can find something like that for half the cost - I'd be very happy. I'm dreaming ,I know!

The 421 Vibrant is a near duplicate. According to Paul at Splitfire says it's only 2hp shy. He's done back to back. But 20hp gains is a little aggressive for any NA motor. I ran it and was impressed by it. Made more power than my old DC, and higher than my old 4-1 Vibrant. Anna He has a good contact at Vibrant for wholesale pricing.
Andy, if you go with the Vibrant and Ana can't help you out, drop me a line.
