Installing the original Mugen Twinloop Exhaust

I read a thread where original mugen twin loop been install in a City .

they hv cut the original exhaust flange joint - midpipe flange, right at the flange . And made a new 2 bolt flange for both mugen muffler's end and stock piping's end . so in future if wanna inst

all back the stock exhaust , they need cut again and weld back at the point

the part of cutting the original piping , isit actually avoidable or not ?? anyone manage to do it less damaging ? Isit posibble to find a match replacement flange for mugen exhaust's side , fit it and just screw link it back to the midpipe flange side .. so no cutting done on original piping and stock exhaust ... so anytime can change back to stock , just screw back the flange

heard that the spring type honda flange is hard to get one , true ?

Koni Sport Spring on Civic ET2.0 : Part ll

For 2 days I've to bear with those 'noise' created every time i turn the steering . Huhh ! ...

Today , i'm meeting with a mechanic , who's recommended by Mr Big boss , the Eastern teames mod. The mechanic boss is friendly , easy going and very good at his works . First impression , with a slight turn and by one squeaking sound, he already knows the exact problem , diagnosed it confidently ; its due to wrongly placed spring and absorber . We spent nearly 3 hours there , the mechanic boss did it personally , to realign it one by one according to the original marking spot.

It was worth it , He really got it done . During the test run , the sound disappears .. plus the steering felt smoother than ever . Finally ..

Front spring to compare ; the original on right , Koni is on left .. the bright blue color .

Koni rear spring in its positions ..

The front Koni spring , got clear rubber hose on one ends to prevent spring knocking sound .

Overall , i pretty much satisfy and its perform at my expectation . The comfort level pretty much maintain , quite hard to differ from stock one . Even my wife and brother felt the same . Maybe a lil bit bumpy la , but its acceptable . Both of them agrees . Cornering improve . The most favorable part is how it lowered the ride . For front wheel , it lowered by 3 fingers making it only permits 1 finger btwn upper fender to tire surface . For rear , it lowered by 1 finger which is now only permit 2 finger tight btwn fender and tire . Even by this , carrying full loaded 4 adult passenger is not a problem .

Koni Sport Spring on Civic ET2.0

Koni .. Oooo Koni

On 16/2/2011 , i went for the installation at one of reputable suspension specialist (BS) in my hometown . At first the big boss seem to be very surprise after i said i want to install Koni Spring , rare he said . But being a specialist , i know he try to be as natural as possible and did the installation as usual . With 5 strong workers as healthy as a horse and a great working tools / machines , they only took 35 minute give and take to complete the task .

But once i drove out of the workshop , i notice theres a popping sound everytime the steering turn left and right even if the car didn't move . Initially i thought it just my feeling , so i drove to a tire shop to do the alignment and balancing , ignoring it . Surprisingly , the mechanic also notice it and complaint the same abt the weird sound , but he claim notting wrong w the alignment , it was something else .

40 minutes later , i drove back to previous workshop and complaint to the big boss . He took the key and tried the ride himself . Clueless , he ask his workers to open it up again for inspection and reinstall again . Yupp , he open up twice - 2 times . Arrogantly , he denies any problem with the installation process and put the blame on heavy engine weight plus the lowered spring might damage the front chamber already . He refused to touch the car again after the second installation process completely done . Thus suggest to seek other mechanics .

I'm very frustrated because even the 'suspension specialist' cant settle my problem . Lost my mood for my next mod plan , the Mugen twinloop exhaust . Duhh ... Gerammnye !
