Default Dual Exhaust setup for the TC?

I think it would look badass.

It would be easy to cut out a matching outlet for an exhaust tip on the driver side, not to mention it wouldn't be that hard for an aftermarket exhaust company to port a second outlet on the driver side on their muffler system.

Only conern would be if it was too loud and had that high pitch ricer whine.

i don't think a dual exhaust setup belongs on ANY four cylinder car...

dual out let exhaust always look better than single IMO.

but if your just splitting your exhaust then your slightly hurting performance, unless your split diamater's are smaller. Now if your just adding a second muffler with no functionality thats so much rice even the chinese would say WTF.

And putting those fake TC carbon fiber pillar stickers aren't rice? Why bother doing anything to the car, it's all rice.

All you would be doing is routing a second pipe off of the muffler, any performance drop wouldn't even register.

Several 4 cylinder cars are coming from the factory now with dual outlets. Not exactly a performance enhancing feature, but they add greatly to the car's exterior looks.

best way to do exhaust for tc i think is. cut off muffler entirely. route straight pipe or muffler to the driver side and exit it there. shorter route less bends.

if someone were to make a aftermarket like this it should be pretty good.

dual exhaust on an i4 isnt only rice but would also lose hp. now nobody wants that...about the cf pillar, thats not rice...how the heck is that rice? rice is having an overly done body kit on a non fixed up civic...or hubcap spinners....so in your case...your saying aftermarket HIDs are rice?...please

You're not splitting the exhaust manifold and running a second set of piping dumbass. It's just a functional second outlet tip exiting the driver's side rear of the muffler..

How the hell are you losing HP from that? Better not put on the TRD muffler, or any aftermarket exhaust. You'll lose horsepower from all that less restictive exhaust!!!

Ohhh that's right! Everybody is a RACE car driver. So that's why they bought a $16,500 economny car to race around in. If you want a performance car, buy a REAL performance car. The TC is a touring coupe, for cruising around, daily driving. It's fine and all the TC is the only "sports car" you could afford, but not everybody bought their TC for it's mighty 160 horses! I didn't buy my car to stop light race...

As for the b-pillar Applique.... It's not a CF pillar... it's a sticker, a sticker you stick on the pillar, a sticker that makes your pillar look lik carbon fiber... how is that NOT rice? Ohhh but it has the TC logo on it so it must be ok!

Actually, its not just a sticker. It is 100% real carbon fiber, not something that looks like carbon fiber.

damn, you guys should calm down

i personally prefer a single exhaust. there is no point in putting a dual exhaust in an inline four except if you are going for looks. which in this case, i guess that is what you are going for. if you want to get dual exhaust, go get it. just as long its not two foldgers coffee cans.

IMO, i like the CF b piller(i just love CF :D ) i even have a CF keychain and money clip.

Complete rice
No two words have so succinctly and completely described an idea in the history of mankind.

Seriosuly though, go for it. It just sounds to me like you're adding extra weight to an already heavy car though.

dual exhausts are great. heck, even the mazda3 has them. looks more even and sporty, which is why most Audis have them now , and BMW's 6-series, M3s, and M5s have them

Tib=dual exhaust.......350z=dual exhaust.......it just looks good and hp loss is minimal if you do it right......not all people care about performance just looks, like me, i could care less if my car goes any faster or slower, but to look nicer thats where it is at. If soneone came out with a kit for conversion to dual for the tC damn straight i would buy it......or just fiddle with it myself

no offense, but then thats going to be rice.....if you only add duals just for looks and dont care about the performance......its just how people add those big as spoilers or wings to their car because they think it looks good, and they dont care about the performance and no nothing of what the spoiler will do...or like how people add some stickers allll over their car thinkn itll make it look good, but to other people it looks like shiiiiii

do it if you like it, but be sure don't laugh at those civic with two soda cans on the back since you are pretty much doing the same thing.

don't want to see tC on laughrice.com or some web site like that.

so what if it's a 4 cylinder. it's a big ____ing 4 cylinder. it's the size of a v6. what if it was a 5.0 4 cylinder? would yall still _____ about it being a 4? it's the displacement that matters.
