Conversion to single exhaust -bumper plug available
For those that converted to single exhaust such as J's Racing, I've helped some bros at TSX forum get the bumper plug to fill up the unused side. Comes PRE-PAINTED from the factory so you gotta know the color code of our car! Comes without the two bumper clips.
Yr 03-05 has a different plug from 06-08 models. This is an official HONDA part.
Looks like this:

For those who converted to a single muffler and tip. If you look at our exhaust, it's already a single exhaust that splits into two mufflers and tips, so you can't convert a single exhaust to a single exhaust.

The performance reason for single vs dual would be weight savings and the main reason would be visual preference.

wrong, there has been no dyno proof of a single exhaust on a TSX generating more horsepower than a dual exhaust of equal diameter. Dyno's have shown that an exhaust (other than hytech which is dual mind you) show gains of 3 - 5 horsepower at the wheel.

There is a thread about it on the "other forum". People with J's racing's exhaust (70MM) say they gained 15-21 WHP. Apparently there IS a proof.

I think that's the J's 70RR, which is a full race exhaust (ie no cat, bolts right up to JDM header). The 60RS (single exit titanium exhaust) probably doesn't gain 15-21WHP, but will fit with our USDM cat+header, which is a plus.

J's 70RR is a full race header with no cat and I don't even think it has a resonator and I believe requires a JDM header. So for all practical purposes that does not apply.

from what i recall, the plug will only fit the OEM bumper right? it can't be used if you have the OEM or euro-r lip?
i'm also considering a single outlet exhaust just b/c of the edge it would have on the dual, the weight savings and it's different.

thanks for clarification, Audioserf. Even if 60mm exhaust gives ~10HP at the wheels and saves even 20 lbs of weight, its more worth the money than dual cat-backs which give.... 3? 5? WHP and weigh roughly the same. Pricewise, decent JDM dual exhaust system costs ~$1000, so price dowsnt make much of a difference. I also double the opinion about having i4 engine, single exhaust pipe and 2 mufflers being a poser's thing.
Anyone got any opinions about 5zigen's single exhaust?

hey ivtec2002,
I've tried sending you a PM but it wont let me cause you dont have enough posts haha. Anyways, how much is it and do you think this is somehow customizeable to fit the 2nd gen 2009 TSX? If you could find out for me that would be awesome!!!

Tanabe MT is my favorite dual cat-back for TSX. Looks close to stock, not loud, excellent note. I also like 5zigen a-spec exhaust, but I want to go custom with either mugen twin loop muffler because of its small tip or HKS carbon Ti muffler. HKS muffler gives oustanding sound and pretty good looks. Mugen is PRICY. Muffler alone is $500+
