it is possible, but pointless to do, the easiest and cheapest way is to go to a local exhaust shop and have them bend a custom one

dual exhaust is realy only usefull on a v motor of a horizontally opposed motor, because the cylinder are in split so it is easier, and sounds better, on a inline 4 cylinder, there isn't a point because the exhaust is all right there and it is nt nessesary to split it into two. but i say to each his own, so if you want a dual exhaust, get it don't let anyone tell you what to do with your money and vehicle.

ok dude just so you know. you go dual, your **** will sound like a weed-eater on crack. its going to sound really bad.

2, your going to loose power that way

3 it takes a little skill to even the flow, so when its cold you can really see how much is flowing out and one migh not flow much at all and will loook really odd.

but its your decision. but keep that in mind. that money could be used to put actuall power to the wheels.

like everyone else said, it's not really gonna help you performance-wise...if anything it'd hurt performance. but if you just want it for the look, then doesn't really matter. civics in general are slow cars....not like we are driving race cars or anything. haha

The only 4 banger I know of that get away with it is the s2000. But then again it is designed for it. [&:]
