Does it fix the DBW jerkiness issues in all gears as well?

Single or dual exhaust, well dunno if there is any difference in dyno but single exhaust for sure will create more responsive feeling than dual.

If that’s the case why would Honda produce the standard Euro with two mufflers ? You think they really would do this to decrease a cars response on purpose; highly unlikely…not to mention a single exhaust on car designed for two mufflers looks dame ugly. As for you saying its more responsive, what evidence and back to back testing have you done to backup your statement or are you just pulling theories from your ass ?

Well I tried on my friend 00 accord 2.3 L did have twin exhaust and before he sold his car he swapped back to single exhaust which made noticeable difference in response, that's personal experience.

If you looking for any more proofs just use yahoo or google, dude or just do it and give us the feedback.

ALN correct in saying single gives better power... why do u think all race setups use single exhaust?

honda didnt go with the dual exhaust system for power! they went with it for looks and quietness...

Its been done already for the Euro and proven that duel is better, so I’m not sure where your getting your facts from, and your experience isn’t even based on a Euro k24 ivtec engine so I would call it skeptical at the very best.

Can you provide us with any proof or article to support it ?

what make you think euro k24 is more special engine compare with k20 that dual exhaust works better than single.
Have u ever think about those people that swap k24a engine to EG or EF or EK which fundamentally works the same and none of them used dual exhaust and still produced higher power figures in comparison to k20a due to higher displacement.
Well I'm not expert in this kinda technical stuff, but few of euro owners here are currently using single exhaust, well may be they could give you more feedback
well... and you can use ur logic why spoon, J's racing,5zigen, Amuse even bother to sell single exhaust if they already knew that dual works better on euro.

what do you mean by jerkiness?
well say you're giving it full throttle, and you let go really quick, it is quite jerky.

i also noticed that the engine tempreture is about 25% cooler than it normally is. and that was after a 30 min drive.

im no expert either... but in theory a single exhaust should have better flow characteristics... considering that to make it a dual first u need to split the piping, then you need to add in two more 90degree bends.... all of that adding back pressure and flow disturbences...

Ive got it on my car right now, and i was driving around all night. It got alot cooler at night.. and the car was alot more responsive.
