Which exhaust should I go with
Ok a friend that my friend knows said a dual exhaust won't do anything to my performance but I am wondering,
should I get a dual exhaust or single?
If I go with dual, I will have to get a new header and then the dual set. It looks nice, I like the look but is it worth it?
OR
should I stay with a single?For single, I will get a GReddy SP2 cat-back exhaust. I'm not sure about the
Dual yet but I am wondering. Maybe there's a few of you that have a i4 with a dual exhaust system...
I'm open to any suggestions and thanks a lot!!

RE: Which exhaust should I go with
For dual mufflers, you don't need a new header. You can have a Y cut in at the rear axle and have some piping made to get to the second muffler. A friend of mine did that with an EX Civic and it looked really cool, but cost him some torque. If you do it, you should cut the pipes to the mufflers down to 2" to try to match the flow characteristics without the dual setup. I plan to remove my second muffler to make my 6 look like a 4 cylinder and hopefully gain a hair of torque.

Thanks again everyone. I will definitely go with single. I heard u do lose power with dual but then again someone told me it won't affect performance if I get a new header. It will be a waste of money on looks. I have found a sp2 for $290 + $60 shipping. If anyone finds a cheaper one by any chance pm me or post here. Again thanks everyone!

Good decision!!! The price sounds about right from what I've seen. My friend has the SP2 on the way for his EP3 hatch also ..... he saw that the exhaust had to be pulled for the sway bar install, so he got a replacement exhaust. I don't recommend headers on Honda 4-bangers, only 6's unless there is some kind of turbo, SC or nitrous in the mix ...... or a major build that will push the output over 25% of the stock output.

I have WS2 ...... I have to figure out the gallery thing to post some pics and videos ..... the first round will look like crap though because it was way too dark outside ... I turned the camera speed up to 640 to try to compensate ...... I'll post a link when it's ready.

Dang, 290+ shipping? I --JUST-- paid 380 + shipping for my '03... Couldn't find it cheaper after looking for 2 weeks..
As for the 2.25", I also couldn't find that either... the SP2 is 2.5", and works great afaik..
