Looks fine mate !
I heard problems with wrapping: ofcourse the heat isn't spread in the engine bay, but the heat can't go out of the wrap.
Meaning: it stays, condeses, falls down on the header. With all rust consequences.
That's my reason to stay away from it.

Re: BB4 Twin loop fitted

Post by vanzep » Thu Jun 20, 2013 10:56 pm

just been out for a run and it does sound epic - bit harsh at lower revs but once the hytec rep is warmed up it now sings in vtec - very musical :lol:
i likey :D

i will just have to live with the fact that the system is a bit loud when cold but that seems to quieten down once warmed up - so i guess less short journeys and more vtec ;)

the car certainly pulls well :twisted:

with regards to heat wrap like most mods there is a for and against argument but its likely im going to go that route

A twin loop is a defInite maybe for mine. Not sure on the loud whilst cold though...wont be very popular with Missus' neighbours :P They've still not forgiven me for my old SV650 with its loud Blueflame pipe :lol:

Finally, nice to see my initial purchased used. Damn it was well made, the exhaust place you used seemed to have done some very nice clean welds and mandrel bends. 8)

I was always led to believe that the twin-loop was more reserved out of VTEC but makes a very distinctive sound on VTEC, but what do I know, I never fitted the damn thing. I think this OBX copy has slightly larger internal diameter than the original Mugen ones though?

Stop complaining about loud exhausts everyone until you hear mine when I first fire it up, 3" from downpipe all back and only one (fairly small) back box. WHAAAAAAAH! :lol:
