need more information on the year and model of the car.

if we're talking 6th gen V6 accord, they bolt right up, but the exhaust hangers need to be turned around.

^^ then you will have to weld the other pipe pipe to the existing one and install some hangers but it is possible. i will try to find a DIY for you.

I would imagine you can just switch to the V6 mid pipe that runs down the car and already has the Y section at the rear... right?

Heres the exhaust diagrams for the 4 cyl and V6 accord. Looks like my idea above should work.

I think you can use the TL or AV6 "Y" pipe to make it dual.

But then the issue of backpressure comes up. If I were you, instead of messing with stock parts from 2 different cars ... just get a magnaflow catback for $300.

and that comes from someone with CL-S wheels on his accord

Wouldnt an aftermarket exhaust have even LESS backpressure than OEM?

:chuckles:

the fact you're splitting the I4's exhaust, that's where you lose the back pressure. OEM or aftermarket, low output engines with dual exhausts isn't a good idea.

well i meant that the OEM setup, either dual or single mufflers, should still have more back pressure than an aftermarket setup.
