    I stoped by a mufler shop the other day...and asked about doing a dual exhaust on my 08 ES... but not to sure about it... am more for the looks than the power... but am afraid of loosing back pressure and that sort of things... what do you think would be good to go with??? they say any of the aftermarket will work good... which i kinda didnt believe much... they said the would charge me 300 bucks... not bad... but I dont want the pipes too big... or too noisy... any recommendation...?

    If you're thinking more show than go, then the easiest thing to do is mak a custom axle-back. I did one on an '00 civic one time. Cut the stock exhaust right after it comes ober the right rear suspension. Then add a y-pipe. Make sure to keep the piping about the same length from y-pipe to muffler. Easiest way to do this is to rin the left side right behind the rear suspension and out the back. For the right side, run it the same way..but make a 180 bend about 8 inches to the right of center. From there, run the right side to the desired location. Ut has some serious bends, but if you make them the same length, the exhaust will flow pretty evenly to both sides. Its hard to explain, drawing it out onto a pic of the underside will help a lot..that's what helped me.

    You'll be loosing power, but it won't be noticeable. No matter what, you'll be loosing power.

    Another option..I saw an 03 OZ with dual mufflers. Only, he had them run Mini Cooper style...side-by-side in the center. Looked interesting.

    Very ugly IMO.

    ^^ I agree with you on that..but he had the walker kit on the car, and had it run through a cutout in the rear bumper..finished with an oval carbon heat shield thing. Like I said...interesting, not good. Lol

    Dual exhaust, less power
