hey don't be mean. I never said I did it, my boyfriend told me that if the piping is around 2", then you will still have some back pressure. I was just stating my opinion that I personally liked it. And :gives: ?? If that is what he wants to do, let him! Don't be a h8ter!

I bought a Tanabe Super Racing Medallion dual cat-back setup made for an S2000 & had it customized to fit on my accord, but I didn't do it for performance purposes...more for show purposes because the dual exhausts look nicer than just having one. With the silencers in I think it sounds excellent, not "ricey" at all. Without the silencers, well...it's annoyingly loud.

bdeitemeyer-why are you selling your car? I saw it on ebay?

the problem i have with duals on an I4 is this, unless the Y joint is engineered and placed in the proper place, it will actually increase backpressure due to turbulence(sp?) of the exhaust gasses which causes loss of exhaust gas velocity induced by the split.

it is a myth that any engine needs backpressure to run. if this were the case we would all be sporting .5" exhaust piping, not shelling out the dough for a performance cat-back exhause or whatever. the reason too big of a diameter exhaust piping will cause loss of horsepower is not because of lack of backpressure, but the extra surface area of the piping causes the exhaust gasses to cool. this slows the exhaust gas velocity and causes backpressure.

in short.... duals on an I4 are teh :ghey:

are you 100% sure of this? Because i swear, MOST people would say otherwise.

Where did you "learn" of this explanation?

uhoh this one again. V6's come with dual exhaust for looks. The C27a V6 accord only came with single. It's just for looks, it's not even dual exhaust it's only dual muffler, a single pipe comes from a single cat, passes though a singe resonator, a single premuffler, then is split to two mufflers. The only gain is for looks. Why does a G35 sedan come with single and a G35 coupe have dual(don't say HP, look on the net, I've wintessed a coupe and sedan dyno in person, and the coupe has about 2 more peak HP, would could be given for different conditions) It's for looks. The stock exhaust is pretty decent on the V6 accord, Almost every single aftermarket exhaust for it loses as much low end torque as it gains high end HP, so you lose what you gain. And technically IT'S IMPOSSIBLE to do a dual exhaust on an I4, you can do dual muffler, but not dual exhaust. If you keep the piping small enough after the Y you should be ok, you won't lose too much. So I don't really see what all the hubub is about, if the V6 can do it for looks, why can't an I4?
