Im looking into getting an exhaust system for my 01 Type-r. I have a AEM CAI now and was wondering what yall thought would be a better exhaust system to look into. Ive heard alot about the HyTech header-exhaust system and a little on the Toda. What gains can i expect to get from both of these exhaust systems.
Thanks

Toda doesn't make an exhaust, so you just answered that one on your own. They make an intake and exhaust manifold, that's it. As far as their header goes, it's a real nice piece, I'd more likely go with that over the Hytech piece, just on it's JDM appeal, that, and the fact that it's less expensive, and it makes about the same power. Hytech exhaust from what I hear is very nice and flows very well. I personally run the Mugen exhaust and love it, and being that it's about the same pricem, I'd probably go with it, as even without a cat, it's quite and not at all raspy, where the hytech does flow a little better, but is more raspy, and a little louder.
Hytech is a great company, and if you have over 2300 bucks to spend on header, tp, and exhaust, then, by all means, I just can't see spending over a thousand bucks for a header. I guess it depends on what you're looking for. But if you're asking my opinion, go with the Toda.

Hey AJ u runnin the mugen twin loop on u're R? Is it worth getting a whole new exhaust when the stock is fairly decent? I don't want my R to sound riced out what's out there thats quiet or should i just stick with stock exhaust?

Yes i run a mugen twin loop, and yes it's worth switching. It uses 2.5 inch piping, not to mention a 2.5 inch collector between pipes, it's fitment is perfect and the welds are amazing. The Mugen exhaust is not only nice and quite, but even without i cat, as I took mine off, it's not at all what so ever raspy, it realyl sounds great. It also gives a nice deep tone where the stock is a little winey in comparison especially without a cat.
Any way, good luck,
Aj

AJ- make an offer. im a little hesitant on selling it b/c i know what a great header it is, but i dont want to really deal with it. if i cant find someone who wants it, ill fix it, but id rather just get enough money to buy a new jdm one or something
