Like Merc says Mugen Twin Loop is a great back box - very quiet at idle and low revs but screams away in vtec. Also adds some performance imo - Ive got plm mani with 2.5" pipe - small mid silencer - and mugen copy (OBX) back box :)

I went with the mugen as was sick of the sound of large jap can ;)

How long have you had the OBX as that's what I'm thinking of getting, still sound the same as when you got it?

OBX twin loop copy has been on for a while
here is a link to it in my lude profile:
http://www.ludegeneration.co.uk/post139089.html#p139089

had to get it professionally fitted as it needed pipe and flange added - cost about £100+ for that work
when new it was louder - it soots up after a while and is a little bit quieter.

Might be able to get a quick vid/sound clip of it if that helps any ;)

I'm looking for a backbox to make my own exhaust system up. I need it to NOT be obnoxious or too loud but have a nice sound in vtec. Would you guys reccommend the obx twin loop?

P.s. sorry for thread jacking!
