Dual Axleback for 4 cyl bad?

Sketch o5 · Nov 8, 2005

a dual exhaust on a 4 banger takes away too much back pressure, which makes you lose even more of the low end that none of us really have anyway, haha. if i were you, id get a single, and piping no bigger then 2.5in. unless you plan on going turbo or something sometime soon.

damn...my friends and i always thought i had good low end. i get my friends auto max off the line and he has almost double the torque and is the same weight. wow, so not only do my 27lb 17s (without tires) slow me down a LOT, now my exhaust does too

I guess the first owner of my car liked to make the car slower rather than faster? dummy

So let me get this straight a single exhaust is better than a dual (being that it is on a 4 banger)

let me speak in laymans terms.... the straighter the piping the better.

yea, that dual exhaust is gonna kill your torque. even when i got my catback, i felt the low end go down the drain.

btw, what axelback is it? i may be looking for something to replace jsut the muffler on my catback, and if your getting it cut, i may be able to take it off your hands...

racing industries....never heard of it in my life....but sounds good. its in the eye candy section under "2k accord 5spd compilation"

hmm no names a little fishy... either way, chp that bad boy off and make it into a single tip again. either that or get a stock exhaust for now.

yea i know what you mean with all this no name stuff. i was pleasantly surprised with the sound, however...if/when i cut it, if my friend doesnt take it (he has asked me) ill let you know if you are still interested
