Tl-s mufflers are quiet, sound a bit deeper, and are not recognized by cops as "ricer" mufflers both sound and looks wise. I live in Cali, you can never be too careful.

bla, just for confirmaton, if i pipe both pipes at a 2.25" diameter to the mufflers, i shouldnt lose any or much performance right? Will the split in the pipe restrict power?

I think you will, if I read you sig correctlly you have a 4 banger , so with dual muffler system, yeah you will loose some back pressure. Anyone agree?

:wavey:

But if he's not looking for performance, then it wouldn't matter.

Sigh....look up past threads. Back pressure is NOT the cause for loss of power. It's the decreased velocity of flow through the exhaust that causes loss.

you should be the first to do a real dual exhaust.

get a 4-2-1 header and cut off the collector. leaving you with two pipes. get a couple of cats, i think a correct diameter for those pipes should be about 1.5". after the cats put an equalizer tube between the two pipes and run 'em back to your tl-s mufflers.

Use a 4-2-1 header with an O2 bung in the primaries (ala neuspeed N2, or even an OBX or something) and you could either use an O2 sensor emulator for the second O2 sensor, or extend some wires and put it in the equalizer pipe.

Holy pointless! I hope you are joking.

I already replied to HAZE's PM, but figured I'd post here if it helps anyone else out.

I paid $200 for a couple TL-S mufflers, but they were only about 6 months old.

I paid $200 to have my existing 2.25 piping hacked off near the rear axle, and split into 2.0" piping leading to each TL-S muffler and hangers. I may have lost a bit of low end, but I'm not sure, so it's pretty much negligable.

It's just a bit deeper than stock, but still nice and quiet.

I just like the look of duals. I also like the look with two tips on a single muffler like a lot of Honda/Acura cars have like Prelude, etc.

Mine:

once yu pass the certification is good for a year. the bad thing is the cop will pull you over for exhaust and you show the certification and out of embarrasment or anger they find some other BS to write you up on, like being to low. gayness...
