Dual Exaust Conversion

[2001LX]

The only cars that deserve dual exhaust, or the looks of having it, are cars with V engines. For the love of god do not put dual exhaust or a conversion on an inline engine. Especially if its an inline 4. And yes you would loose back pressure. The more free flowing the exhaust is the faster it is getting out... loss of pressure.

That has been discussed.
Your statement is totaly false. Go and do some resurch, a search in the tech forum would be a good start, but basicly dual pipes do not have to flow better than a single, and its quite possible they will sometimes flow worse.



And I found another 4cyl car with dual tips.
The Type R or Euro R Accord.

WHAT?!?! I can put dual tips on my single pipe exhaust and you call that dual exhaust?

You can make a single exhaust flow just like a dual exhaust and vice versa. All physics and flow volume. BUt a dual exhaust (TWO PIPES coming out of the rear) will weigh more than a single PIPE exhaust. More weight equals more energy spent hauling that heavy piece of metal. Is it worth it? That is really up to the owner.

whats funny to me is that this kid brought a civic then after he brought it he noticed everybody and their mama has one......didn't u know that before??? lol...

yeah i dunno
i think symetrical cars look better..
but...
2 exaust pipes is gonna weigh more..
if its a cosmetic thing.. and you wanna spend the money i would say go for it.. if not.. and its for performance.. dont do it and dont weigh down your car

why the all hate boyzz???

ok ok, we should stop all the flaming. if i understand correctly, one of the arguements was because of the power the s2000 makes is the reason why it has the dual exhaust. i'd think honda did it for both the looks and the performance. the reason why other honda's shouldn't/don't have dual is because they have no need. look at all the cars w/ dual exhaust, for the MOSt part, they have V-motors. this causes them to have dual exhaust so the ehaust can go back in more of a direct line w/ less bends ( i dunno heard this somewhere.) the v motors have 2 headers, inline 4's have 1. this is the main reason why they usually have a single exhaust. but to the owner who wants it. DO WUT YA WANT MAN, ITS UR CAR . but nah, i dunno it really jus depends, there are tons of arguements both ways, so i guess it really comes down to wut the driver wants...if u get it tho, make sure u get it done rite aite? peace

Props to you. You said it the best! Closing thread.
