Dual Exhaust on a 2001 Civic EX?

Hey guys. I'm thinking of putting a catback dual exhaust Y pipe system. Has anyone tried this yet? or heard of any positive/negative feedback on this idea? Any brand recommendations? Any insite or feedback at all would be cool. Thanks guys!

In a nutshell:
Twin muffler exhaust -- not ideal for making hp, difficult to tune...results don't justify expense. Strictly for show. Additional weight
Single muffler exhaust -- the best systems are tailor-made and tuned for the car and provide the best real gains. Strictly for go. Lighter weight than stock in most cases

I saw this car in person this weekend, it looks and sounds really sweet, but I can't tell you either way about performance.

OMG...Redfog, that car is ugly...I mean, it's got some good parts and all but the overall execution is just not well done--especially that retina-searing interior. The owner better love it 'cause it's certainly a love-it-or-hate-it proposition.

Grey, now that's more like it! That car is a more restrained, better integrated exercise...even the dual exhaust appears an integral part of the styling here.

dual exhaust= lost hp , ask just about any person thats been here for a while. plus keep in mind " if it wasnt made for dual exhuast, then its not meant to be."

the wings west red 2k1 (featured in one of the Honda Tuning Mag) has dual Magnaflows, looks nice, but I doubt it has big HP gains

Dual would look really nice, especially with a body kit with the moldings for them

No. Why would you want to put a dual exhaust on a 4 cylinder car? Other than the S2000 it looks cheap. Don't do it. Save that money up for something else. Plus search the topic next time.

Dual exhaust is for V8's man, stick with the single.

It seems like everybody has their own opinion on this, some say it looses back pressure, makes the car slower. Some say back pressure doesn't matter, it's Delta pressure you don't wanna loose, so Dual Exhaust is fine.... I want to know if anyone out there has put on dual exhaust, and dyno'd the car, and really KNOWS "wow, my car is slower" or "nice, my car is faster". Thanks guys. BTW, Any other recommendations on brand?

i think dual exhaust would be cool
i dont really care that much about hp gains and what not cuz i know that civics are slow
im not much of a racer unless im in my beamer
but anyways
im thinking of doing dual exhaust once i get my kit
cuz otherwise it wont look good
just my opinion
