I went with Triple Lake pipes on both sides. Looks great and sounds to die for!
Talk about letting the car breathe!!! Watch out! (*I got a bit excited leaving the muffler shop.)



Sorry...I had to!

RAT FINK SoCal you are the man! You could probably do one side functional and leave the other side dead. Of course not those Patriot lake pipes because it would never meet emissions but something like the Hooker ones with the slip in glass packs Or Patriot Lake pipe 4s or Patriot Shielded pipes because of the muffler. I think I might be on to something. I wonder how they would look with the running boards? If only I could figure out how to use Photoshop. I love side pipes but it sucks to touch your leg to one. I did it once one my moms buddy Johns vette and I never wanted to do it again!

Why do you want to do a dual? You'll probably loose power.

Yeah, I was talking to Erich at Darkside last week, and he said they ran a "Y" on their build out car - but only about 15% of the flow makes it to the passenger side, so it's mainly for looks. As snksknr94 said - with 4-cylinder cars, a single exhaust is really the way to go.

I'm looking into some options right now for cat-back systems to sell.
We'll see what turns up...

It will all depend on what types of aftermarket rear bumpers the make. I would love to have a single exaust in the middle.

If you increase the air coming in you wont lose any power.
