Default Dual Exhaust On a 4-Cylinder Sedan

Anyone have any websites they recommend for an exhaust system on a 4-cylinder sedan?

I want dual exhaust, with chrome tips JUST like the Acura 3.2 TL-S.

Lemme know what you guys think. All the dual exhaust systems I have found have HUGE friggin' tips, which I dont like at all.

HELP!

I went the custom route, I've got stainless steel tubing, and I chose the tips I wanted. It looks slick on my 6th gen.:thumbup:

Haha, I would rather just buy an exhaust system and have Midas or someone take care of it. I am not all that good with cars, and everything I have done myself on my car I have somehow f*cked up.

Ummm, noone that I know of MAKES a dual exhaust system for a 4 cyl. Accord, you will have to get it custom made. Go to the local exhaust shop and ask them about it. The best route to go, if it will fit under your car, is: They will weld either a muffler or a glasspack right after your Cat., then there will be a Y splitter right after that into two pipes that run to the back of your car, then tips. Pick out your tips and buy them and take them to the exhaust shop, they will use whatever you take to them, or what they have, which would most likely be 3" diameter Chrome tips.

i wonder if a 98+V6 exhuast can be fit for the 98+I4? comptech makes a very nice stock looking axle back, but it's $$$. thermal r&d also makes a stock looking axle back too for less money.

the custom route is teh best way to go since there are no kits out for the I4 only the V6. get the rear sections u want and have any shop weld the piping

Just stumbled upon a few on Ebay. I dont like the big tips though, thats the only bad thing about them. I am not quite sure just yet if I should go with dual exhaust or not. It kind of gives the impression that I have a 6-cylinder and I dont.

Not like this will look AS good as split dual exhaust like an Acura 3.2 TL-S, (at least not to me) but I really like this single side dual exhaust.

What do you guys think? Its cheap too compared to a $500 regular split exhaust system. And Midas said they would install for around $20.

doesn't adding the extra exhaust on a car that only has one actually hurt performance instead of helping it?

I dont care about performance gains. I dont wait an EXTREMELY loud exhaust though. I like the dual on the same side, I think that will be really nice on my car.

Dual on the same side? You don't need a Y pipe for that...If you want single pipes on each side, then you'll need a custom splitter.
