converting to single muffler

hey everybody -

i recently converted over to a single muffler system - actually all i did was get a greddy exhaust for an accord v6 and had it modified so it only ran one can.... the car has a nice grumble to hit and i could actually feel the difference - going from a stock exhaust to a greddy single muffler - now the other day i bought the hks super dragger system... i know its only axle back, but i like the dual polished mufflers - so i throw on my stock exhaust piping and strap on the 2 new cans - not very surprisingly the car feels sluglish again - now two days ago i had my comptech headers thrown on - but it only feels a little bit faster from when i had my single muffler greddy system.
do you guys think i should convert back to the single muffler system?? i mean the cat back exhaust actually makes enough difference to where i can actually tell the car pulls less... and now i have on the headers, and it feels as if my car is being restricted/bottlenecked.... so should i convert back to the faster single muffler system, or keep my stock exhaust with the hks cans??

regards,
jj.

ps - how the hell do you post pictures? i haven't even got the plates for the new car yet, but ive done quite a few mods that im sure you guys would appreciate

Of course everyone knows that a single muffler system is better cuz we arent running true duals...but hey, you got to balance the looks with performance....i am personally willing to give up a couple of horses to have a nicer looking rear.

A friend/mech of mine also did suggest me of converting my CLS to a single muffler exhuast N1 style that has the tip coming up and at a angle, like some Civics and WRXs. Any suggestions?

i don't know that is the problem, either get a custom kit, find a way to fill it, or just leave it i guess.
