I think it need a bigger diameter tips!...

Actually, I think your HKS looks 10x better than that Mugen with a over sized tips.

Congrats! Mugen is BOSS!

It is truly a piece of art and my #1 bar none favorite dual for the AP2 period.

Enjoy it.

Tim

What if anything does the Mugen exhaust do performancewise?

Nothing noticeable. It is only for the sound and the look.

Overpriced? Yes, worth every penny? Yes.
Did you receive new gaskets with the exhaust? And are new rubber hangers included or are the stock ones reused?

I agree that it's overpriced, but I couldn't help myself either and ordered one. I look at it as spending my kids' inheritance, so it's not really my money.

Hangers are resused, but it comes with O ring gaskets. The quality is amazing...

Very nice looking. I wonder if the sound would be very different with the Mugen or other aftermarket header.

Did you have to modify the hanger on the Mugen to fit the 06 like you did the HKS?

And is the Mugen lighter than the HKS?

I should get my headers in about 6 weeks, I will let you know then!

The Mugen fit perfectly out the box, it was amazing how easy the installation was.

They are about the same weight.

and the weight. it is about half the weight of stock. I still like my AP1 version better. Cans are too big on the AP2.
