Only way would be to get custom piping and have it split near the rear, but it is going to look stupid IMO.
i doubt it would increase performance over your single canister exhaust. it would add weight though. not sure if it would be louder, but may i ask why?
search up "dual exhaust" ... i remember posting a list of negatives of a dual exhaust on a 7thgen civic

I agree with streetglower. I will also add something. Why? Why? Why? There is no need with dual exhuast on a 1.7 liter 4 cylinder. Even with turbo there is no need. Hint 4 cylinders are inline meening it only needs one exhuast. Also if youi don't take anyones advice then have fun melting your fuel line and going caboooooooooom!!!!!!!!!

Creates to much back pressure? What planet are you from?
If you want it, then go get it. Maybe it's just for show and doesn't mine being slow. Meineke had a special on dual exhaust this last week. I don't know if they still have it though. Its you car.
Is anyone else driving your car or giving you money to keep it the way it is.
Do as u please.

this was disccused a while back on the forum. dual exhaust on a civic will create too much back pressure and you will lose horse power you can even go to any tuner shop and they'll tell you the same. civic + duals = less horsepower

you really should go back and re-read those posts about the duals, because it doesn't gain back pressure what so ever. Come on it can be explained as simple as it was with the straws.

it will reduce back pressure, but also it will redude the scavenging capability of the exhaust and that will reduce HP, not to mention the extra weight added
