on a 2000 accord v6 coupe it is dual exhaust and i was wonderin if there was any single exhaust cat backs i can get for it. the only way that ill get performance from duals is if each pipe is coming down equally from each manifold. but the way it set up is 6-2-1-2. i think thats how you say it. so i was just wondering on any recomendations on exhaust set up and if its worth keepin the dual or going single. i prefer single.

 

if u conver it in to a single tip u will loose alot of high end
and dual u get the same performance, not just that u will also gain toq and hp

 

you can go single and save alot of money that way too. when you order most catbacks for the AV6, the second can is always another $400 option. i actually like the looks of the dual cans on the accord, but since it isn't a true dual exhaust and just a Y pipe, you can go single without choking up your engine.

i went the comptech route though. the cans were near stock in size, stainless steel, and the tone was great. when swapping from the cat to the back, make sure the diameter of the aftermarket part is greater than the stock piping.

 

not always true. when swapping the exhaust to an aftermarket catback like Greddy or HKS, expect your MPG's to drop. you lose alot of low end torque and gain some mid. it's noticable when you're at a red light and about to go ... the power just isn't there anymore. going from 50 to 80 is a different story.

another big lie is that exhausts add alot of HP. not true, you'll be lucky to get another 4 or 5 hp to the ground.

 

what Eklypse39 said was very true, most exhaust doesn't gain any HP, just the freaking wrongful advertising to making people buying it. I've tried many exhaust on my 99 accord 4 cyl, and most of them doesn't gain much, especially for hondas you needs as much gained in mid to high ends. Not just that, most exhuast has crazy loud tone to it, and i hated that. I've tried the Apex-i WS sport thats pretty good for the price and sounds like stock. But then, i got the mugen exhaust from the integra,,,holly molly, that exhaust is like the king of all, theres no other brand in the market can really compare to mugen. Especially the twin loop design,,,shit, not just it sounds like stock, you literally can feel it, also it looks HOT HOT HOT......

 

post pics of said mugen exhaust plz

 

This mugen exhaust originally from integra, since mugen doesn't make the exhaust for 99 accord ....

 

mugen...

 

If you have an Accord V6, it comes from the 6-2-1 headers into the cat and then the single-pipe cat-back exhaust attaches to it with three bolts. Since it's a single pipe, power-gains won't be affected by going with a single exhaust or a dual.

The main purpose of going with a dual setup (besides looks) was to reduce the amount of sound created by the exhausts. With dual mufflers, you are able to gain twice the amount of sound-deadening surface area on the inside of the mufflers. Therefore, the only thing you'll get with going with the dual option is less decibels and a slightly different, lower tone.

Back in the days, if you can find it, they had dynoed four setups and realized that the dual option doesn't gain any more power than the single, so if you really do like the look (or want to go sleeper), go with the single.

 

i think u can buy the i4 version for ur year accord. it shouldn't be a problem oltiing it up
