Dual Exaust Conversion

[lewkskywalker]

I am in the process of purchasing a 1996 Honda Civic EX. It has come to my attention that every kid and his cousin has a civic. I want mine to stand out, so to speak. My first idea is to convert it to dual exaust. In order to do this, however, I would need a custom bumper with slots for two pipes. Anyone have any ideas as to the best way to do this, and an estimated cost?

Doing a dual exhaust is not even worth it for a Civic/4 cylinder car. Plus it will really kill your backpressure and kill your performance. Plus you have to think about the extra weight which wil also kill your performance. Then you upset the balance of your car with an exhaust muffler unless of course you run with a passenger all the time.

Then the piping is going to hang weird under your car cause there is no routing underneath the car, and you will not be able to lower your car much.

Anything else I missed? :0

I have dual exhaust on my civic and i really like it. I didn't lose any back pressure at all. And i can set my car all the way on the ground and my exhaust does hang down or hit. I think it looks cool, you should do it that is a mod. that not many civics have.

Exactly. Having dual exhausts and you don't loose back pressure YEAH RIGHT! Don't tell me you also have Altezza tallights.

All in all it's your right and you can do what you want to it. But this is why people call other people ricers.

I also have dual exaust, two fireballs and custom piping, and i dont feel any loss. WHy is this called a ricer? Just cause i have dual exaust? I could say the same thing about everyone who has a moddified civic. Civics a re family orianted cars not racers.

dual exhausts on civics dont look good to me but whatever floats your boat. and a "cost effective" to getting a dual slotted bumper is to do it yourself, borrow a jigsaw and go at it, it wont look bad because evertone will be looking at the civic with dual exhuast.

please anyone with a dual exhuast civic please go to the muffler shop and ask them to fix this injustice.

im with CivicSiRacer.

altezza's are gay!

[markpa]

your gay you fag....just cause you cant or have the luxury off forking out a couple hundred bucks for lights dont knock them. so what if a lot of people have them, they still look good.

THEY DONT LOOK GOOD AND THE NEXT GEN AND THE ONE AFTER THAT WILL LOOK UGLY AND MORE UGLIER, AND IM NOT A FAG AND A STRAITH MALE LOOKING FOR FEMALE, 18 OR OLDER.

The jap spec Toyota Levin with a 1600cc 4age 20valve engine has a twin exhasut from the factory.
There is a Y pipe that starts in about the middle of the car.

The Toyota Altezza, Mazda 6 and oh yes the HONDA S2000 are other 4cly cars with twin exhausts.

If set up correctly it is just as effective as a single pipe, but can in the right aplication look better to some people.



The only problem with doing it on a Civic is as CivicSiRacer said the lack of room under the car. It dosnt mean it cant be done, it just means you have to be a little more creative.




And there will be no more name calling and flaming.
Its childish, and achieves nothing.

Thank you for clearing that up Moppie

Dual exhaust can be done without backpressure loss if it is done correctley. Most shops/people will just hack off the pipe and use a y-pipe. It is almost impossible according to physics not to decrease backpressure doing so. I see lots of sport compacts around me with dual exhaust so its not exactley an original idea. Clearance is going to be a prob not matter what since you will prob have to go under rear axle. It's all a matter of preference, but I for one would never ever consider doing it. Save your money on the piping and muffler and get a different mod.

Ok...heres one for all the flamers and children to argue about...dual exhaust on a 93 civic, thats now slammed to the ground and clears no problem..its also a stock motored lx...so theres virtually no loss in power or back pressure...i know ive done all the work except the actual welding of the exhaust pipes..i also did the struts and coilovers so i know how close to the ground it is...if dual exhaust is your thing ...do it...dont let others tell you your ideas are ugly or stupid...
