Now, I want that, but with the supercharger header... with the beefy 2"+ primaries that merge before the manifold wraps around the bottom of the block. Match that with a B18C1 sleeved out to 2L, and a JRSC put to 9psi, and that would be one KILLER fast car...
And I mean killer... I'd wrap myself around a tree in a week :fawk:

Acura is a part of Honda, and all the Acuras in the world are, infact, Honda made cars with different badges.
DC sports makes good low-end stuff. They will always be outstripped by more major companies like Comptech and GReddy, and can't hold a candle to HyTech, SMSP, or Mugen
DC sports, as of today, DOES NOT make a Twin Canister System (aka TCS / twin loop) for the 3rd gen integra. They do make one for the 4th gen (aka Acura RSX) though.
The Mugen twin loop, while an awesome NA exhaust, is horribly expensive.... you could probably buy 2 full good cat-back systems for the price of one Mugen twin loop.
Though, a Mugen twin loop is kinda OK for superchargers, and would be a bad decision if you plan to go for Turbo.
My fav exhausts, in the affordable price range, are the Comptech, Apex'i WS, and Greddy Evo. If I had the money, I'd buy a full custom HyTech with a supercharger header (Very short and fat primaries) and 2.75 piping. That would be indeed, the shit...

Really, I heard Mugen was like Acura's race team. Like they are a company made by Acura to make racing parts for Acura's. Guess I heard wrong. Sorry.

Next time said person tells you Mugen is Acura's race team, tear into them, letting them know the truth.... oh, and Mugen no longer exists, it's M-Tec now :thumbup:

Hytech is a better flowing system than the mugen, and is usually 2 or 3 hundred dollars cheaper for the axle back.

although there isnt a whole lot of info on their site, you could run a search on honda-tech or team-integra. there are plenty of members on those sites running the hytech setup.
from the website, the header is $1300 and the exhaust is $900 which is cheaper than the mugen twin loop.

Mugen is owned and run by Hirotoshi Honda, the eldest son of Soichiro Honda, the man who founded the Honda Motor Company. It has operated since the early 1970s preparing competition engines for Honda, often with unofficial help from the main Honda firm.
So that dude was partially right. Mugen was started by the same people who started Honda. I wouldn't go quite as far as to say its like "STi > Subaru", "SVT > Ford", etc, but Honda and Mugen are very closely intertwined.
