Dual Exhaust

[talonsteve25]

Check this out

I built this out of interest just to see what it would look like. I still need some clean polished tips for it but so far i think it turned out pretty good. I was aiming to get red of the rice can that always seems to be on these cars and get a more sports car look out of it. And a cool side effect is the droning is gone at 3k rpm right at high way crusing, the car becomes SILENT.

In my Honest opinion...

Its the same amount of rice

Although good try, i respect that (A+ for creativity)

[jjrock5]

You might get crap from ppl but I like it.

It gives off an SRT4 look.

[tsiboostin]

I kinda like it. Not for me but I must say it looks a lot cleaner than things I've seen before.

[mindset]

Yea at least it's not all hacked. I like it, not too bad.

[talonsteve25]

The idea its rice i agree, but i just dont want it to look like it. To dsm guys it will still look like rice because they know its pointless , But to people that dont know it could look factory, and i still have to angle the pipe/tips so it is flush with the bumper? I dunno at the very least i became a bit better of a welder haha.

I kinda like it. Notch the bumper over each, hang them a bit higher, and get two spiffy exhaust heat dohickymajiggers.

[jjrock5]

While we're on topic, anybody know if they make direct fit ''heat shields'' that are placed right above the exhaut tip and on the bumper? It looks like a metal plate or something and I guess it protects the bumper...

[talonsteve25]

You mean the actual bumper under the cover? Becuase i did notch the cover but they almost hit the bumper.

I was gonna cut sheet metal in to a circle and punch out a 3 inch hole in the middle and then rivit it to the bumper like the vipers i think lol that could be a heat shield

[LandoAWD]

Sorry bout that...hard to tell from the pics if it was notched or not.

[mitsu_matt]

Now you just need to add some whistle tips and you will be all set! Its that Woop Wooooooop!

[DSM_PWR]

The Whistles go Wooo Woooh!

Yeah like that, has anybody done that with these cars?

[jericho777]

Too bad with a dual exhaust there wasn't a 6g72 twin turbo in there!

[LandoAWD]

As if our engine bays aren't tight enough..

[DSM_PWR]

Isnt there a pic of one ina 2g floating around somewhere??

Or was that photoshop'd

No crap! although the longer I work on these the more and more room there seems to be but I think its due to me having my hands in there so often I just know where to stick them

A+ If there was a way to make it look uber clean on the back bumper I'd be diggin' it 100% but I prefer a sleeper look and I have it dumped right before the rear axle so nothing comes out the back. I am a fan of this though good job! way to improve on your welding skills as well, practice never hurts

I know 386-customs on here sell them in carbon fiber

[e85_4g63]

I don't think your setup looks that bad. I actually like it. Nice work man..

[Jimmer307]

It's alright, A+ on creativity though. It is most definately the cleanest dual exhaust I have ever seen on a DSM.

[Cutlassjim]

I like the idea from a noise reduction standpoint, two mufflers have to be quieter than one. Plus I don't think its all that rice because all the Honda Civics/Accords rocking a dual exhaust set-up usually have two big gaudy mufflers/tips. This looks really good with two small tips and not being able to see the canister hang down like a nut sack because there's no room under the car for the muffler.

Gotta work on that split point though its ####ing hideous. I'm sure it doesn't affect flow to much given the large volume and cross sectional area but .

[talonsteve25]

The picture does it no justice the angles arent bad at all. And i made it my self which is why it doesnt look the prettiest

[jjgrizz73]

I like it, good job in doing it yourself...its nice to see creativity every once in awhile. DSMs lately are almost turning into the evo community and are turning into more cookie cutter stuff. Again, goodjob man

[spawn87]

i like it
to bad the awd guys dont got the room lol it be nice because i would totally do it.

and like mentioned before it does look like an srt but then again it is the mopar version of the eclipse lol

[inneed4dsm]

A+ for creativity atleast its not 2 fart cans on there
well atleast it doesnt appear to be

[GofaST4life]

I like it a lot. It doesnt look overplayed.

[xreaction122]

I love it!
care to shoot us a video just to hear what its like?

[nuclearr]

I like the eay it looks on the ground. But I do not like how you used just strait pipe to make the bends not efficent. At least you used much larger pipe than you need.

[cardot33]

I gotta say, I love that dual exhaust set up. It looks like it's supposed to be there, not like a ricer fart can (I used to have one on my talon, I admit) just hanging off the back of the car, making nasty noise. Maybe someday I'll do something similar on my 1g. It reminds me of what I was going to do with my camaro, that has a muffler with single inlet and dual outlet (might work on a dsm?). I for sure need an external wastegate before playing with exhaust though, boost creep will kill me otherwise. How is the ground clearance with that set up?

[blackGSX2g]

Well I can say I was expecting something completely different when I clicked on this thread. I don't want to like it, but I actually kinda do. Gives the rear end a different look. Definately something that I haven't seen before, and steps out of the box. That and I HATE the canister style mufflers. They look way tacky, so props for not sticking two of those on.

I only see where you have 1 muffler (guessing the large canister before the split was your old muffler), just straight pipe from there? I'm interested to see how it sounds also. Post up some vids!
