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.

And they're no longer run by the son of Honda 'cause he got slammed bigtime for tax evasion... It's all on HAN's front page...

They make tie bars you can bend with your bare hands and SS headers that rust within months.
Generally an exhaust is an exhaust.
Mugen will give you a nice sound.. not really loud, close to stock.
Will be good for long drives etc (I can barely use my cell phone in my integra w/ skunk2 exhust - N1 copy).
Mugen exhaust is 1000 though.
spoon exhausts sound loud and annoying
thermal exhausts also give a unique sound that is not too loud
My favorite is my tanabe Gpower on my prelude.. not too loud most of the time-but very deep, and screams in Vtec.
its your decision.. i'd suggest you find out where your 'honda racers' hang out in town and try to hear as many different exhausts as possible, and choose the one you like. Don't worry about what your buddy or some jackoff on a webboard tells you.

The whole DC Sports parts breaking thing is grossly overexaggerated internet mythology. While it is true that a tie bar or two did break or bend or something, that turned into people talking about how the entire product line is shit. It's not.
However I would say that my favorite bolt-on exhaust for Integras is the Tanabe Super Hyper Medallion. It's full stainless (i.e. the piping and the muffler unlike the A'PEXi WS which only has a stainless muffler but not pipes) but still not overly annoying in sound. That's what I would buy if I was you.
