you'd need the headers midpip intake to make things more noticable...

I agree with FO... looks and sound is all you'll get from that. For our cars anyway...

Maybe someone else can explain to you in more technical terms as to why and why not... etc etc...

you will NOT get more power with dual exhaust....

you will have better high end... but a decrease in the low...

why you ask???

.....because there is NO back-pressure... your engine has more air coming out than coming in... just like it you got a bigger mid-pipe...

i've seen alot of fake duel pipes out there on civics. one pipe would pour out smoke while the other pipe sits there and does nothing.

The muffler end piping.

Okay lets take the CR-V for this situation because I have some facts...

Stock is 2.5" in diameter, with a flowmaster muffler, it was a 3.5" tip, dynoed it, lost low end to stock but gain high end OKAY? I'm not talking about exhaust tip from Canadian Tires, but the actual mufler end pipe. If you want to argue about this be my guest, the last one was about the remotes.
