I have read that that exhaust will choke your engine... think about it. an s2000 has 2 of them for 4 cylinders and produces 240 horse.. so I figure that muffler is probably good for only about 120. but if you have a d series and aren't pushing very much power it would be ok. a b series it would choke off power though I would think.

You do know that the engine runs through a single cat then splits after that right? So essentially the 2 mufflers isn't for performance but more for style.

one other thing.. he owns a hatch.. i own a coupe... am i correct in saying that this will not fit because the pipping is laid out diff on the coupe? or would i be able to bolt this right to my stock pipes?

edit:maybe i should have asked this question first.. and not wasted everyones time
