2 mufflers on i4 = loss of back pressure??
 
does anyone know whether i will lose back pressure or not if i put 2 mufflers on a i4? for instance two Evo

From what I understand, you will lose back pressure at low RPM's. My GReddy SP exhaust is a single exhaust and I can feel a small loss of pressure. It takes a little more to get moving from a stop. From what I've heard, it is not wise to go dual with a four banger. I know there are some members of this forum with duals and their fours. Maybe they can share their opinions.

i have seen ppl with dual zigen fireballs and they told me, they don't feel any loss at all. yeah i know it sounds unbelievible but that's what they said. im asking this question cuz dual look better than single and if i wanna go with dual Evo, it's only 50 bucks more plus the cost of custom Y pipe. but on the other hand, im concerned about lose of back pressure and the extra weigh of the second can. well i will probably just go with single then

i think you're confused. you need to buy the Evo for $500, then add the dual option of $450 on there. so you'll actually spending $950 total. (i'm guessing on these prices.)

you sure? on its site, it says evo for v6, $649; 4 cyl, $599. the extra is just for the can, no pipes

this is from the greddy homepage ...
____________

10156633 Accord V6 2/4dr 1998-on 60 115 $649.00
10156634 Accord V6 Dual Opt 1998-on 60 115 $439.00

from my knowledge, you have to get the single pipe, then add on the dual option. i could be wrong though, but i'm pretty sure about this.

fawk...sorry i didnt see it clearly .i will say no thanx to dual setup then

no, your right Eklypse39. If you were going to buy the exhaust, I dont think you would buy retail. You can usually find it cheaper.(i've seen it for like 30% cheaper on GBC) I have the Greddy MX w/V6 Dual Option on my ride. Email me for a pic steveng

Dual exhaust on 4 bangers that weren't designed from factory that way is something to laugh about.

Haha, yeah. But anywayz, you CAN go dual, but I think the Y piping will need to be like 1.25-to-1.5? I dunno, I don't think it's worth it go to dual unless you got something else to back it up.
