Dual exhaust tip setup.. not dual muffers though.. I wonder how much performance hes losing or gaining..

Check out the nifty 2.3L sticker under the prelude emblem

I don't know I've always wondered that too.. they seem to be on the JDM ludes...

if you guys haven't notice, that's a JDM prelude or england or some country of the nature. They have a rear fog lamp (the one on the bumper) and the license plate is longer. The 2.3L sticker might be a standard sticker..... but that muffler..... ??? NSX?

its kinda like a "fog light". So when driving in very dense fog, people behind you can see you better.

I think that looks horrible!! should've made a Y shaped pipe so it can branch off under the car, if it wasn't for that other tip coming out it reminded me of the CRX's mufflers....

As far as gains or losse I would want to know too...

I think it looks kinda sharp, remember we are getting a look at level of it all, on the road generall you have a higher focal point so it won't seem as bad. I like it, don't think i would ever do it to mine, but I don't think it looks too bad

Low Tec94 · 02-11-2002, 12:03 PM

Good point.WOT247, I wouldn't do it to my car but it would look the same at another angle.

luder4lyfe · 02-11-2002, 12:06 PM

i bet it wouldnt look bad with a black widow rear... if the piping lined up correctly

SikRedRX-8 · 02-11-2002, 04:49 PM

I've seen neons with that same set up and it is definetly not my style.

Brady92/4WS · 02-11-2002, 09:36 PM

if that rear fog is a jdm thing, i might have to look into doing that, it would be kindve tight...

Jape · 02-11-2002, 10:11 PM

uhh I am pretty sure the only reason they have it there is because IT'S THE LAW.. . lol .. if it was the cool thing to do, we'd have them also.

To be different, just like everybody else

If its your thing, go for it, dont do it cause people tell you its cool.

my feeling about dual exhuast on non show car four bangers is that they are pointless and pretty much just rice. A single exhaust is one thing... but a dual exhaust with two tips that size is just unnecessary. Nice looking, but only on a show car.

By the way.. i'd love to get one of those 2.3L stickers... hehe

that along with my license plate of "DARK SI" would make people even more confused when my vtec kicks in!

Jape · 02-11-2002, 10:55 PM

a lot of people complain about how dual exhaust is unnecessary because it's a 4 Cyl ....

Here's my thing.. did you see how big and bulky and heavy the stock exhaust is on a Prelude? IMO, an extra tip, especially the one up above probably makes NO difference in a 1/4 mile time...

C'mon, whats the worst an extra tip could hurt in a 1/4 mile? Has anyone actually done the math? My uneducated guess would be .03 seconds or so...
