Will a SPOON B PIPE fit a Mugen Twinloop BACKBOX?

Hi guys and girls,

Would a Spoon b-pipe fit and work with a Mugen Twinloop Backbox?

Cheers

if they both bolt up to a oem b pipe which im 99% sure they do then there is no reason why it wont fit

Re: Will a SPOON B PIPE fit a Mugen Twinloop BACKBOX?

because it's huge and has a resonator that hangs extra low and gets smashed easily....which leads me to theorize why there's more Mugen TL backboxes for sale than complete TL systems.

The Spoon midpipe will not directly fit because the Mugen TL backbox requires a 2.5" donut like that off of JDM headers.

Re: Will a SPOON B PIPE fit a Mugen Twinloop BACKBOX?

Tried and failed - I tried to bolt my TL back box to stock ITR b-pipe and as said the flange on the back box is way bigger.
An exhaust shop would probably be able to sort it out..........
I've got mugen b pipe now anyway.........
