Er....that would take a custom job at your local car/body shop. Check the clearance so you can fit tips.

Dual exhaust works like this....it's basically a straight pipe down leading into a boxlike containment and two pipes lead from that. The only concern is whether you have enough clearance for the box to clear without scraping the bottom.

Im not sure I understand what you are talking about with the "boxlike" contraption. However, TRUE dual exhaust, like you see on old muscle cars, is basically like two separate exhausts, one for each bank of pistons. Each manifold/header has its very own piping all the way back to its very own muffler, the two never connect. Cars nowadays often tout their "dual exhaust" but they usually arent true duals.

Like the dual exhaust on the 350z...I saw a "how to install a catback" videos...and it was ltierally a rectangular box.

Im not familiar with the 350Z exhaust. Ill have to look that up and check it out. I dont know a whole lot about the duals on newer cars, Im mostly concerned with getting my own lol.

The only reason why I watched that video was because I did an installation the day after. Was an easy $60 bucks for me. He paid for the exhaust.

i thought doing a dual exhaust on a 4 cyl was bad cause it caused back pressure and decreased torque, am i wrong? cause in that case ill trade in my single for a dual.

if im not mistaken, the channels below the car are different. but u may wanna check w/ a V6 if im right. you may also wanna seal one of the pipes so u don't loose back-pressure which cause u to lose torque. (I think u should go for it, but check if it fits first!)
