I concur ^

[mr3000]

yea!, they are on ebay, a couple different people sell them, for a single in dual out is under $50 shipped

[hawk362]

Dont sweat it custom exhaust is not a bad option, i bought the dual tip exhausts too from ebay, they have a deep tone but really stand out thanks to the straight piping and downpipe, so i can't really say how the mufflers alone sound, but the setup i have now sounds better than a borla catback.

[mr3000]

yea, im going to use an ek2 DP,high flow cat with stainless steel internals, im probably going to end up using the flowmaster original 40( thier loudest and most aggressive sounding) but i was looking at other muffler options.....

I just had my exhaust redone and i couldnt be happier with it. I had the entire exhaust system cut off right behind the cat. converter, then they ran a pipe down and cut a hole in it wheere they ran another pipe out of it then bent them to aim towards where the old tips used to be then put one of those round stainless steel mufflers on the end of each pipe, so I still have the dual look and its still commin from one pipe but it souds A+ mazing. BTW I got a 97 SL i duno if u got a vr4 and what the dif would be if u do but it worked well for me. Were you gonna take the single in dual out and run one pipe from each side of the dual out as exhaust pipes? the shop I took mine to said the 3kgt engines were real tight since the pistons use about 60psi more than regular engines so you would rellly need a mufler on each side or it would sound like a lawn mower/fart can on an old civic. just my two cents

[mr3000]

i have a base 3000gt

[mistermoonpie]

well in that case I think the outcome should prove to be about the same. I've never heard it personally, but I do agree that the 3kgt motors are high strung and I believe that a single in dual out muffler wouldn't give you the sound that you're looking for. These kinda look like mine, though mine are shinier and the tips are slightly different. Just put one of these on each side of the exhaust and you'll have one badass sounding car

yea, i dont want to go with the ricer mufflers, i used to have a prelude and i hate that noise! theres a 1st generation in my town with those and it sounds horrible.....since you havent heard this before, heres a link, this is with the flowmaster 50 series muffler......enjoy!

Single in dual out work fine. The reason alot of peoples sound like shit is because they dont keep some sort of resonator in the exhaust. With a resonator it makes a world of difference.

[mr3000]

you mean a catalytic converter?....im going to run a high flow cat with stainless steel internals instead of ceramic in my exhaust

[Stealthee]

No a resonator. TT's dont have resonators as they really dont have a need for them. NA's need them or the exhaust BUZZES

[mr3000]

what does the resonater look like, can you buy aftermarket ones?
