i've seen a fake one before...was driving behind this old pulsar.....the guy did a gd job...even made the muffler too....but it looks funny...just made of aluminum....and u can see the one on the right one blow smoke and vibrate when he drive...the left one just sitting there all clean and stuff, not even a hint of smoke residue on it at all...hahahaha even the inside of the pipe is still clean...look really stupid
you can just get a muffler with twin outlet. both outlets will work and you wont look like a fake. its about 200bux for a muffler with twin outlet and any size tip you want put on.
I don't think you would lose power if it was just a twin muffler with normal tips. It's the same as standard all the way til after the resonator where it splits into 2.
The only cars that will really benefit from a real twin muffler setup is one with 2 exhaust manifolds, i.e. V configuration engines. Also cars with reasonably high flows (large capacity or turbo) might use a twin muffler so that they have 2 narrower pipes to route underneath rather than one huge pipe that eats up fuel tank space and what not.
i think he means where the two muffler tips are ato opposite sides of the car....eg S2000 style what im saying to him is that if he was to get that sort of setup it would have to bbe engineered extremely well not to lose backpressure, then power in a 1.8 lt NA car.....it can be done but is technically alot harder and almost destined to make the car lose backpressure and nullify any scavenging effects of the exhaust

Even then, you'll find that most cars that are Turbo or High Displacement, only have twin mufflers for cosmetic and sound reasons.
My friend has a SS commodore, and he wants to put twin exhausts on it, and have two seperate pipes. But in my opinion, I think it's a waste of his money.
Sure it might look and sound good, but compare that to a 1.8 litre car, which has 3 times smaller displacement, it's not really a good idea!
