Your gas mileage will go down, you might see a small gain, but it'll look retarded because you'll have nothing coming out of the other cutout.

If you have more than a few mods then you will get something out of it.

idk might look tacky. i see it on SRT-4 and S2K's all the time.

if i had a 2nd Gen CL, i would have dual mufflers both exiting at an angle. now that would be something to see.

I doubt that. The Type-S comes stock with just about the most free flowing exhaust you can put on it.

Don't waste your time. Besides, it will look stupid. CL= Contemporary Luxury, not CL = Rice Mobile.

Hahha....man that would look dumber than shit, there's an S2K on my base that has it done w/ a BIG ASS CAN pointing out at an angle and it looks . As for the two cut outs, I know you've seen the civics with dual cut outs and a single can....how do you feel about that??? Duals look so much meaner IMO.

you would gain a few things, torque and you would drop weight. i can see it being beneficial to someone seeking performance. although it would take some trial and errors to get the right amount of flow.

^^^^I knew that was photochopped.

The exhaust looks like it came off of CleanCL's car.

The exhaust is a single cat back & the the mufflers are split into 2. How would simply removing 1 muffler help any? Even in weight? Stock mufflers don't weigh that much.

i believe their like 18lbs each. so you would drop off about 20 lbs. i also imagine it would increase back pressure.

if your looking for a single exhaust. Greddy Evo 2 has one that's full catback. The only reason why the Greddy Evo 2 was expensive for our cars in the first place was the optional extra side muffler.
