dual exhaust

[bc4g]

The owner of a local speed shop I go to
said that you loose horsepower with dual exhaust
Is that true? And is 5zigen exhaust the loudest?

Yeh i've also heard that. My friend has 1998 prelude sh with dual custom exhaust. Well it i see more smoke comin out on the rite side then the left. So i think that the second exhuast don't do shit. He did it for show anyways.....:apuke:

Instead of 2 mufflers just get a single inlet dual outlet one then get some custom piping and you have the look of dual exhuast and the performance of only having a single muffler...

Mainly, its just added weight. Dual exhaust on a 4 banger doesn't really do much good. Looks kinda cool, but prolly better off without it. I agree with JohnnyM if you gotta have dual...

The 5zigen is pretty damned loud, but not raspy.Nice and deep sounding.Im running a 2 1/4 pipe from the cat back, all around great exhaust.But i had a pacesetter before this so......:silly2:

Yeah i had a pacesetter, it's like night and day between the two, for awhile i actually though the ps sounded good, i guess i was just in denile.

dual exhaust on a honda wont really do anything for you unless you got a lot of turbo or supercharger. something thats gonna make a lot more exhaust to fill those extra pipes. without that it would just add weight..maybe lose some backpressure..not a big deal though for something for show.

if it doesn't need dual exhaust then why does it come with it stock? lol it may be .5" round but its still dual hehe

No kidding, a little of your post whoring would be a relief right now.

Seems every few weeks or so a newbie comes along and has no clue what year it is.
