Hey guys. I have the oppurtunity to trade my oem cat-back exhaust for a dualie exhaust. It's got custom piping, stock cat, and 2 tsudo mufflers? I don't know a whole lot about exhaust so you got to help me out here. I just asked what size the piping is, so I don't know those specifics yet, but this seems like a really good deal, I mean it's a straight trade. He says its pretty quiet, which is ok. Even if this is temporary, what do you guys think about it? Would I have to modify anything for the dualies? Any input would be greatly appreciated, thx

 

umm.....whats a dualie exhaust?

 

the cl is only ment for a single exhaust. not a dual exhaust. plus with the stck bumber there is only one cut out for the muffler. i think it would look retarded on a cl, especially on a first gen, unles if it had an aftermarket lip with two exhaust cut out in it.

i wouldn't go with it

 

dualie=dual exhaust

 

3.0 with dual exhaust is ok, but since you have a 2.x ill make you lose hp and back pressure

 

how would I lose horsepower? I have aftermarket headers, I would assume they would work well together. I don't think the loss in back pressure would negatively affect the power in such a way

 

Is this dualie exhaust bent for an accord? How is the piping run? That's the biggest factor in play to know if you can even mount it, and you have to custom fab a mount on the drivers side and remove the tow hook

 

your car isnt putting out that much hp, so you would lose the little back pressure you have if you got these dual exhausts. and when losing back pressure, you lose low-end torque.

 

no

 

I'm pretty sure it's bent for an accord. It just sounded like a good oppurtunity but you all seem to think its a pretty bad idea lol. With my plans for a turbo, do you guys think this would be good?

 

i'd rather get a turbo back........

 

should you do it? No.[ /endthread]

 

 

A good single exhaust will outperform a 'dual' regardless of what set-up you're running as long as it's match up to power you're making.

Most of those 'dual' exhausts have the 2nd pipe running out at an absurd angle with no Y-pipe. Plus like mentioned before, it would look dumb on a 1st gen CL since since the car is kinda skinny to begin with.

 

K, I guess this is a now go then. I looked on ebay for the mufflers and they're crap anyways. Thx for keepin me sane guys lol

 

I thought she meant a dualie truck

 

lol i was thinking.....why would she want ford f-150 exhaust pipes on her cl
so i asked

 

you really think the 3.0 with have any gains from a dual? good luck
oh yeah and ive heard some good things about tsudo exhaust

 

It'll look kind :ghey:

Stick with this and you can never go wrong.
1st gen = single exhaust
2nd gen = dual exhaust

 

supraman, were u being sarcastic about the tsudo's lol

 

gains for 3.0 but you dont have anything to lose either

 

ya i never liked dual exhauts on CLs
