#82058 i think dual exhaust looks rel nice. i was planning on doing a mini-me swap to my stock d15b8 with a d16z6 head and IM. im going to boost it as well. any possible kits or something for dual exhuast? would i lose power?

#82062 All you'd be doing is adding weight and probably loosing power by going to a dual setup.

Anyway to have a "true" dual exhaust you'd need two headers, and our motors dont come that way.

#82070 also, im not 100% on this but i think the pistons on the B8 motor only have 8 valve reliefs so you wouldnt be able to do a mini-me swap. ive heard some people say you can and some who say you cant, someone can prob back that up either way on here

#82081 Nope, the pistons are 16v relief, go for it! You might have clearance issues with a dual exhaust since there isn't a nice tunnel carved in the body for one. If you really want dual exhaust buy a v6 accord

What he said. ^^

Honda 4 cylinder motors have absolutely no need for a dual exhaust setup. If you are talking Ridgelines or V6 accords, that is a different story.
If you are going to boost and make bigger numbers, just get a wider diameter single pipe exhaust.

#87489 I can confirm that you will lose power on a 4 cylinder engine with a dual true exhaust.

Ask yourself why are there such things as H pipes for V and boxer style engines?

Whenever I see something like that on a 4cyl there's only exhaust coming from one. :lol:
