Question Dual Exhaust...?

What do you guys think of this setup? I am kind of wondering how this thing would fit...

It would look terrible, sound terrible, and be absolutely worthless on a performance level. Save your money and get a nice, single canister cat-back exhaust (GReddy, whatever).

1. Dual setup on civics? don't do it.
2. You will have to modifiy rear bumper to put on. and get new hanger support.
3. Auction didn't specfiy what model its made for.
4. 2.5" diameter tubing is way too big and pointless.

What do i think of that auction? Crap, save your money toward suspension mods.

I was really considering it, I just wanted to get some input on this. Yeah I wouldn't expect any performance with this setup. I have seen some nice M3's with this setup and it looks cool thats all.

Yeah a friend of mine has an 01 ex civic sitting around that has some kind of custom dual exhaust (large canister tips) and it looks cool with the body kit in all but my lx can beat it in a straight line and i only have an intake. and the thing sound so bad. It seems awsome when the car is off and you are just looking at it but once you fire it up and rev the engine it doesnt seem as appealing. Its prob the most raspy rattly exhaust I have ever heard...

Question

I just saw something else. Does anyone know if this 5 ZIGEN exhaust on ebay is the same as the 5 ZIGEN exhaust in the exhaust clips section?

LOL!!!!! You kidding me?
Hey Jeff get at least a full exhaust system. The exhaust you are looking at is only an axel-back. You dont gain any hp if you dont change the b-pipe also.

KalliGarri is on a distinguished road
hey that exhaust is a "Style" exhaust, its basicly the tsudo fireball style, same one i have, and its DEEP, deep enough for the pitch of the exhaust to cancle out someones voice when there talking, IMO it sounds great

raspy is straight up nasty. get catback only. dont waste money on only an axle-back. you only gain looks and sound from an axle-back

well first off, youd have to "adjust" bumper to make it fit(pending on year of civic,..04's already have half circle in bumper) and second,..i dont think it would look very good with the quad-tip exhaust,..maybe on a 6th gen. civic,..but not a 7th gen.
